rob_p said:Out of interest - I don't often see the gen 1 engine vs the gen 2 engine discussed.
For those that have driven both I would be interested in views - they are quite different I think (gen 2 being DFI).
I have a gen 1 3.6 with a hartech rebuild and the engine is an absolute peach - above 5,000 revs it is absolutely brilliant. Somewhere about 6,000 revs it gets a second wind as it 'comes on cam' - very infectious... :thumbs:
Is the gen 2 the same...??
That's a good point, the only comparisons you normally hear about are about reliability rather than actual performance characteristics.
JayEmm on YT (lives near me) did a good comparison not long ago, 996 C4S vs 997.2 C2, worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
