I'm not on this board much anymore; someone has to have brought this up already. The 2.8T has EXACTLY the same output at the 2.3T in the Viggen. Yes, they said it was 230hp, but I've seen stock dyno results on here that show 250hp. Torque is exactly the same between the two. Even the 2.3T in the 2006 9-5 will have more power. So....why? Why less power than the smaller engine? Why build it? Why buy it if it's just less efficient in producing power and using fuel? And, why does it have the EXACT same numbers as the Viggen?
Thanks,
Nathan
