Pretty much. I could live in that 123 for a very long time. The crown vic's seats are easier on me.. my right cheek starts falling asleep in the 123 in about 1.5 hours.

I have driven an euro 300D with the 4-speed, and TomJ's 300D turbo with a 4-speed. The difference in performance was far more than night and day. Granted, Tom's was in far better condition, but the euro was too much of a dog for me (Too spoiled to the turbo). I would take a converted turbo 300 over a stock euro 300 any day.
