FW: [W126 Coupe] 3.27 Diff WITH ABS !!!!!

[Jim Nowak]

A liter of gas in the US is around $0.48 and we can't
stand that it's that damn high!  They sell it by the
gallon in the US.  The conversion is 3.79 liters per
gallon.  $1.81 per gallon would be for premium in my
area of the US.  That's all I run in my supercharged
sec.

I can't imagine that differential with my blower
engine.  You'd just about be pulling wheelies from a
dead stop with that gearing.
