HA. Well most are acceptably geared... that 300SEL is just all wrong. That 3.46:1 with no overdrive is just awful. The motor can take it, that is not the issue, it just wastes accessories and wears out the valvetrain. I really believe that car with a 2.88:1 diff and first gear start would be totally different.
