1987 and 1996-1997 have the same HP on paper but '96-'97 are NA and lack the "immediacy" of the turbo '87. They are decent performers if you keep your foot in it.

The '98-'99 are beasts in comparison. Only about 22 more HP on paper but much more rush.

'87 is W124, a car many people consider the last "true" Mercedes, built to an engineering spec. rather than to a budget. I have a '98 and have no complaints about performance or build quality.
