I suspect the motor in the 9 should be in the 360

Hrhr

Sheis a 2 litre turbo, with Wentworth alloys and the optional spoiler with integrated brake light.

TBH the 360 is faster

Shame the 2.3 hpt is a much more powerfull engine. Saying that a set of lowering springs sports dampers and some poly bushes should have it sticking like sh1t to a blanket. You want need the speed just dont slow down for the bends

Hmm.......

B230FK 135bhp
B21ET 155bhp
B200FT 155bhp
B230FT 165bhp
B23ET 177bhp
B230ET 182bhp
B230FT+ 190bhp
B204GT 200bhp

Not all the 2.3 turbos were more powerful - in fact the 2.3HPT (B230FT) has only 10bhp more.

Only the early 2.3 ET engines were a fair bit more powerful.

It is true. But the 2ltr is a bit gut less that is the point we are getting at here.

The 9's problems can easily be solved. Go as griz has stated and handling as i have said. You can go a very long way but I think you are not intending to improve on what is there?

Nope, the 940 is a purely family car, safe and secure not insane and wild
