Okay, I'm trying to answer a question for someone and I thought I'd yield to someone who know the 900-series better than I. Is there a performance difference, namely hp, between the 940SE and 940 Turbo?

The 940 SE and 940 Turbo use the exact same engines, but the dashboards are completely different. The 940 SE has the same exact interior layout as the pre-94 960's. The 95-98 960/90 used the same dash design as the 940 SE, but the door panels, seats, and interior trim is totally different and much more upscale. The 940 SE is basically a loaded 940 Turbo with the interior of the latest evolution of the 760 series Volvo's and different wheels of course. One more thing, the 940 SE also had an IRS with self-leveling, which the 940 Turbo didn't come with. Or to put it another way, the 940 SE was the exact same car as the 92' 960, except, it had the 940 Turbo engine inside of it instead of an inline-6.

How about on a '91? Thanks for the help man.

1991 was the last model year for the 940 SE, so everything that I stated above would apply. The 1991 940 SE is the same car as the 1992 960, but with a 940 Turbo engine.

Yeah, actually '91 was the first AND last year of the 940SE. The 960 was intro'ed in Europe in '91, and I think we got the 940SE as a sort-of stand in for that year.

Note - the 945SE did not have the IRS, as they were still using the original multilink design at that time, and it would have interfered with the wagon's flat loading floor.

HP is the same as the 940T, but due to all those goodies Indy mentioned, esp. the IRS and glass roof, 0-60 acceleration was about 1-1.5 sec slower.
