Yes, chains "stretch" due to wear, but it isn't that the metal literally stretches.

Honestly, I can't even see grandma driving an old 240 gently... You really need to demand maximum power from the engine in order to drive normally. Thinking about old granny trying to merge into traffic staying below 2k rpm is laughable.
