Since I drive about a 96hp 300SD, I envy you.

Wasn't the turbocharged OM617 rated at 123HP or so? My SDL was rated 146HP when new (I doubt it makes that now) and it seems to scoot along just fine. Maybe not the fastest off the line, but once it's moving it never breaks a sweat.

You are right. It had 121 hp and in 1982 they increased it to 125. Still pretty weak compared to my 6.3 which I still miss.
