My 1987 300D was no-op since I bought it 4 months ago. I fixed some minor issues, registered and drove it last week and it is a completely different car than the 300SDL. They have the same OM603 engine but the 300D performs like a gas car, quick off the mark and very peppy. The SDL is like a snug from stop but they seem to perform the same on the open road.

Anyone with both cars and can relate to my observations? SDL is too heavy or something wrong with it? Any comments is welcome.
