1560 Goodwood Drifter Talk Morgan Expert Registered: 10/10/08 Posts: 2883 Loc: european union	Originally Posted By: Heinz Is the engine-gearbox weight comparable with the 3.0 version? Any further influences on weight differences coming with this car? BTW acceleration and weight data on Morgans are always a topic of estimation (as we have discussed some time ago here on TM). And specs which are delivered from extern sources like mog wire may not help to answer this questions. still the 3,7 will completely humiliate the +4SS on the RING _________________________ 2012 3whlr

I guess they don't want to say officially that it's actually faster accelerating than the Aero's, although it could well be... _________________________ Reality is an illusion that occurs due to a lack of wine

But logically it should be quicker than the Series 1 to 62, by an odd tenth of a second or so. 280bhp sounds better. It was up in the air last September when we were discussing this very thing with the elders at Malvern. _________________________ DaveW Red Roadster

Brian V Learner Plates Off! Registered: 29/09/07 Posts: 482 Loc: Jersey, Channel Islands	I wonder if the detune from 300 bhp is deliberate? Otherwise they will be generating competition within their own trad (or classic) range ala TVR. For me, the new Plus 8 is much closer to an Aero Mk5 than a trad. I wonder if the MMC have made an error marketing it as such? B Edited by Brian V (02/02/12 08:20 PM)

There surely will be a factory demonstator soon to prove....
