Dif is the ECU... Posted by MisplacedYankee [Email] (#1756) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MisplacedYankee) on Mon, 23 Aug 2004 18:26:35 In Reply to: Re: 04 ARC - BEST 9-5 EVER !!!!!!, stwood, Mon, 23 Aug 2004 18:18:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
ECU programing gives the extra 30 horses... Turbo and engine are the same in Arc and Aero. Other differnces in Aero over Arc are seats, brakes, 17 vs 16 inch rims, and stiffer springs and sway bars. I considered the 04 Arc over an aero and thought about just getting the extra HP out of the ECU upgrade. Throw some of the 17 inch dual 3 spokes, a stiffer rear sway bar and you have your own aero for less with more HP.
All that said the aero does have the better seats, might be worth it since you can get a good deal on an Aero as well. Personally when the time comes I am going to get a slightly used 02/03 aero and have it all:)
