So I just noticed that Gen II's speedometer ends at 240 km/h, where my Gen 1 2002 ended at 260 km/h
I'm aware these cars have a 239 km/h top speed govern, but this got me thinking. Is the Gen II slower at the top end over a Gen 1?
I mean its a poor comparison, but I remember racing my 2002 (intake, tune, magnaflow) against a stock 2005, and they ran neck and neck but at 160km/h my Gen 1 with those mods pulled harder at the higher range.
Also my Gen 1 would switch gears WOT at 80 km/h while my Gen II switches at around 60.
Looking for some education on what the main performance differences are between these. Is the gearing different on the tranny and diffs?
All I know: Gen 1 ~ 252 HP, Gen II ~ 280 HP
Gen 1 ~ 30 spline diff, Gen II ~ 32 spline diff.
