My Brothers 1983 300D weighs 100#'s less than my 1982 300SD. The SD blows the doors off of the 300D speed wise. Its interesting that Mercedes engineers would suddenly forget about weight so blatantly in their designs.

The W140 chassis is a very different breed from the W126...
Weight was clearly not a big consideration, when you think about double-paned side glass, a pump for closing the doors, etc....
