[W126 Coupe] Horsepower in 380 and 500 sec's

[Dick Spellman]

Well the stock 560 euro is 300.  I am no expert on hp ratings but, you 
could be looking at an AMG 500 or an engine that has a blower perhaps??  
By the way the archives search engine has hundreds of hits on 
'differential ratio'.  Looks like the euro 500 through 85 was 2.24:1 and 
thereafter 2.47:1.  The 380 US would have been 2.47:1.

You may want to take a look at this professional spreadsheet designed by 
Dan Landiss.  Found at :http://www.landiss.com/mphvrpm.htm

Regards,

Dick
