WOW! At highway speed 70mph+ the 240d 4-speed seems like it's gonna pop the motor through the hood!!
Drove to Lakeland for the Lake Mirror Classic Road Rally yesterday and had a blast!! But have to tell you that the RPM's that this 240d spins at highway speeds makes me uncomfortable(I would expect the speedo to be 100+ mph in any other car!!!). Honestly there is only like 1/2", if that, till it's floored!
Can you tell me what kind of drop in RPM's will I experiance if i go from the 185-70R-14 up to 205-70r-14 ?
Or should i not waste my time with that and swap rear end gears?
Love this car!!
