How were the 2 SEs equipped -- identically? I had a '94 SE V-6 5-door, and traded it in for a '98 S Turbo coupe. I liked the low-end torque of the V-6 better, and the 4 doors and opening rear quarter windows were advantageous at times, but I still like the '98 better: No timing belt concerns with the 4-cyl turbo. Better engine response at highway speeds without downshifting. Hydraulic clutch works better than the cable-operated clutch. ----------------- John Weiss Seattle, WA remove *nospam* from e-mail address for reply BarryG <bgNOSPAMnopsamny.net> wrote in message news:807m7h$9be$1nopsam.monmouth.com... > I readily admit to a lack of knowledge in the evolution of the 900SE over > the last six years.
