ahhh 760....that would possibly be heavier with the 6 pot and al lthat leather have to compare like for like...also of course it would depend on 4 or 5 door, trim levels etc...(and lets face it 70kilos is approximately the differnece between a full and empty fuel tank)...

sorry boys i just dont see you can say the 850 is faster cos it s lighter that pig just wont fly....(look at the power to weight ratio and you find the truth) namely that a bog standard 850 2.5 20 valve NA has the same power as a 940T (thats a full presure turbo!), the torque curve is much flatter too...the 850 turbo is way more extreem still...

assumming the weights are roughtly equal you get
740 b230 104:1
940t 170:1
850 2.5 20 168:1
850 t5r 260:1
s60r 300:1.06 (ish)(1650kg)



now of course we know bhp sells cars and torque makes 'em move...but its still an interesting list....
