Subject: Re: Need an opinion between 9000 CSE 2.3 t (170)  & 2.3 Turbo (200)


I have recently driven an 9000 Aero automatic and it was close to be scary - straight line acceleration ws incredible for such a large car and kickdown when cruising means that you can pass almost anything. Look at the swiss Hirsch sites - they do an upgrade to 230-265bhp for 2.3 turbos. :) more power!
