You could try a scrapyard, some of them don?t clean out the cars so you can come across manuals every now and then. I?ve never understood why people don?t give you the manual when they sell the car. Maybe they throw them away :?

Errr, that would be in seventh gear with overdrive engaged?

:/)))))))))))

Hi,

LOL ! I wrote 175KPH, about 110MPH. That was the official manufacturer figure, I guess it's pretty true, due to power (92HP on a '93 DT) - keep in mind that the 405 had a good SCx (Cx=0.31, S+/-2 (I don't want to calculate this today), SCx =+/-0.62/0.65). That's the only one thing you have to think about, 'cause weight is almost neglectable - from 35KPH you mainly fight against air resistance to move faster.

Someone I worked with was picked up in a diesel 405 and the police clocked her at 115mph. Probably a tail wind but pretty fast.
