I've tried to get some numbers, but the weather is causing traction problems.
I don't have a 940 yet Chris, but I am looking for a 940/960 at the moment.... It's just the 135bhp from the standard LPT 2.3 lump sounds like about enough to pull the skin off a rice pudding to me! It's a BIG heavy car!! Though I admit I've never driven one (yet!).

So getting a bit more performance without having to resort to expensive engine mods and the associated huge rises in insurance costs sounds like a viable option.

If you (or anyone else) has some concrete numbers it would be interesting to see the comparisons - But genuine numbers please, not guesswork!
