W126 US Specifications
I always wondered about the specifications of US models of the W126 line. I am especially interested in the specs of the 420 SEL. I only know the specs of the 560 models and the 380 (only SLs, I'm not sure if the specs of SL and S are different). 
Maybe someone of you guys might know the specs
Danke (German for Thanks)
