[W126 Coupe] Help! : diff ratio's

[Dawid Loubser]

Not at all, Alec... I am way more ignorant than you, trust me.

ASR = "Anti-Slip Regulation" a.k.a. Traction Control.
Electronic countermeasures to prevent wheel spin under
any circumstances. The 560SEC was the first car in the world
with that fitted. An easy way to identify a car with that
fitted is just to look at the instrument cluster. There's an "ASR"
warning light next to the ABS, etc, and there is a big yellow
warning light with an exclamation mark in the middle of the
speedometer that lights up whenever ASR is in action.
