I think their EPA ratings are higher, so you are probably right.

Isn't the 95 also more powerful? Seems like 121 V. 134 if memory serves me. This leads me to believe the 95s feel slower, but probably reach 60 mph sooner.

I've found a couple road tests of the 2.5 Turbo, back when they were new. Zero to 60 times are in the mid to high 10 seconds. Great video from Motor-Week on You-tube shows 10.7. Pretty impressive, I can hardly wait to get mine up and running. (Bear in mind my point of reference is the 617 Turbo.)

How does the 95 compare? I haven't looked lately, but I seem to have a vague recollection of 60 in 9.9. Feel free to correct and enlighten me if I'm wrong.
