I've just aquired a 1982 300SD. I love this car - once it reaches 20mph. Until then, it has nothing! Did Daimler Benz actually design this car to be this much of a dog off the line? I don't want to floor it each time I start off so it will kickdown to first gear and actually have some power. What can I do to improve the power from 0 to 20? Or. . . do I learn to live with it? Like I said, I love this car and if I have to, I'll just drive like I'm 80 years old. But any thoughts on this will be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks! Rob
