[W126 Coupe] test

[Shayegan, Richard]

When I was playing around with my mixture and my g-timer I found that a
normal mixture yielded faster times by not kicking down (well, sometimes
kicking down but not near shift points and not at the start), but a lean
mixture gave faster times overall and was faster by kickign it down from
the get go and keeping it that way rather than driving the way that got
the best times with a normal mixture. Granted this is a 380.

Vance, have you ever felt that the 560, even without wheelspin,
accelerates faster from a standing start at about 2/3 throttle instead
of full? At full throttle it feels a little like the old 4-barrels did
when you opened the secondaries too early.
