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!!  |
You'll get used to it. I drove my 240D manual transmission cars 80 MPH for a combined almost 800,000 miles. Maybe you can consider a noise cancelling headset. The revs won't hurt anything as long as it's full of oil.
