Lots of talk about who is the quicker.
Is it the 375 or 405 version that truely is faster then the other and under what type of driving conditions ?

the 93/5 have the edge on top speed but many of the early 90 cars are a bit lighter and ran some fast 1/4 mile times.

general concensus is that the light weight of the 90's were the quickest, 93/5 the fastest. either way, the 30 HP didn't make as much of a difference as you would think!! cars also varied in performance quite a bit, which is odd considering the uniform manufacturing techniques.

JR, well, on the dyno my 92 with 89K miles on the clock pulled 322 SAE Corrected RWHP, so I'd have to tip my hat to the 405 HP engines. I was bone stock, including spark plugs, except for Corsa cat-backs and a K&N filter under a stock lid, which most knowledgeable folks will admit counts for nothing or a few RWHP at best

Anybody can play the weight game, but I still carry the spare tire (the one behind the car, not the one around my waist!!! ;-) The true measure would be a SAE RWHP figure then a trip to the truck scales. I'd think these numbers would be valid for 1/4 mile or road course. However, in both cases the driver might well be the determining factor.

Rgds,
