did the 92 feel like it was something holding the car back and the 95 felt like it would just glide down the highway and really light? I noticed this with the 93'* i drove and the 96. The 96 is real powerfula dn if i take my foot off the accelerator at 65mph, it will stay there for a lil bit before it slow down unlike the 93 it will slow down instantly.

Series 1 will be quicker off the line because of it'* lower rpm peaks, but fall short at upper rpms as discussed above.

My 95 shifts out of first at 5900-6000 at 47mph... So yeah buddy it was almost 50 mph...
