Rode in a 420SEL the other day, and my dad encountered an emergency situation which required kickdown. I really think the 420 engine isn't enough to pull the W126 quick enough down the road. Darned embarrassing if you ask me. Not enough power at all
I agree with that to a certain degree...but since I am used to driving a diesel..power is not a huge issue

My mother bought a 86 420SEL back in 1991..that I used to drive all the time.....car was definitely a cruiser...not something to speed in...I actually like the handling of the short wheelbase cars(126 or 140_ better than the long wheel base....especially in the 126..it feels like its a block long around turns
