I just purchased a 1984 300D and am dissapointed how slow it is from a standing stop. Especially on an incline, I have to floor it and patiently wait for the turbo to kick in. On-ramps on highwyas are scarry. On the highway it's fine at speed. Am I losing compression? Do this NOT affect highway speeds? I knew they were slow but this seems ridiculous! Help!
