Why is my brother's '83 300d so slow?

Hi everyone,

Been a long time since I've posted anything. I drive an '85 300D. My brother liked mine so much that he decided to get one for himself. He bought an '83 300D. I was just able to see it and drive it for the first time today. When I got in to drive it, the first thing I noticed was that it is soooooooo slooooooooooow in the pickup compared to mine. Like a pretty good bit. I also noticed that his speedometer only goes up to 85 or 90 mph where mine goes up to 120 I think. I was under the impression that our cars would have had the exact same engine in them.... Is this not the case? If they are indeed the exact same engines, why would his be so freaking slow on take-off? Thanks!
