Too bad you never got the V6 versions of 240 GLT, that in estate form would be something special :D

You all probably know this? Some good bits there.

I would say that car is unbearable if 0-60 time is more than 11 seconds, ok(ish) for 9 second and quick under 7 seconds, current daily is bit over 9 with it's tuneup, piss poor slow at uphill acceleration still :roll:

But compared to basic level 240DL that was offered here, with that B19A/K or B200K motor, sure 240 GLT is more like what it should be, if motor is getting old put B234F in there, putting turbo lump in is probably bit more challenging there than it is here, B234F is perhaps not a lot more powerful on paper, but it should be lot more rewarding to drive.
