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)

Hi
This link, although incomplete, does give the difference in performance between US and the rest of the world.

Can anyone confirm this?If its true it has to be the cheapest 11 horses you can possibly buy!
