[W126 Coupe] Diesel Powered 560 SEC

[Jay Hirsch]

Cannot speak for a 270 CDI personally.  A friend has one and is "over  
the moon with it."
I do have a 300 SDL and think it is the equal to if not superior to a  
380 SEC.
Maybe  in in my "head" but the 380 SEC has a different feel to it  
than my 560 SEC, not just the due to the motor but the overall    
substantiality of a 560 SEC.
I  think Mercedes tweaded a few things between 1983 and 1990 that to  
me give the 560 SEC that "feel."

A 560 SEC with a  270 CDI   would be quite the ride.
