I had an 84 300DT until last week when a 19 year old with no insurance pulled in front of my wife. Now I have a parts car. I was looking around at different local 300D's and I test drove a 79 with no turbo. I was amazed at the performance it had. It went right off the line, it could have passed for a gas engine. My 300DT was a real dog off the line. I thought I checked everything, the trans was starting in 1st. It seemed to run great after 10-15 MPH. I only tried 1 other 300DT (82) it was a dog also. Was there something wrong with the one I had and the other DT I drove? Or are they worse off the line then the older non-turboed 300's?
Thanks
