My 9000 is *definately* more manuverable(sp?) than my 900. Of course my 900 wasn't an SPG, so that might have had something to do with it. > Well, for me the size of the 9000 is more practical since I'm usually carrying > things & people but when it is just me driving the SPG just fit me better. > The SPG's motor seemed better to me - I don't know why.

I once parked my 900 next to a friend's 9000: it doesn't look like it, but they're the same size (of course the interior of the 9000 is a lot larger). What model years were yours? My 9000 (a '92, 200hp) has *way* more power than my 900 did (an '85, 160hp).
