It was the term "aggressive" that I did not understand or comprehend fully. You describe the 2000 9.5 Aero with Hot engine as having "massive" power. Would you expand on that. I know it has good power but massive is a term ....well... I have also "heard" that this engine will provide a temporary over-boast of 20% for ten seconds. Presumably this is to facilitate passing. Is this correct? Do you know? Are these good values? An extra 20% of the rated 230 takes it to 276 bhp.and if 230 bhp is massive, what is 276 bhp. Please let me thank you again for your information. I really like to understand what I am driving. The metric units are no problem to me. Although I am in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, I was educated in Canada. Started at the Canadian Naval Academy to be a naval architect. Got my Dip. N.A. from Greenich, UK , a B.A.Sc. from UBC and because the RCN (now Canadian Armed Forces) could not find ships to design, they let me retire at 23 but paid for a masters in civil architecture at University of Toronto. So the units are very familiar. The term "massive" still intrigues me. Thanks again for all your help. If I can assist in any way , please email at any time. Just remove the "delete" from the posted address. By the way my practice is in historic restoration and adaptive re-use. Malcolm Mason Malcolm Mason
