The 20V 90 is boatloads better than the 10V 90, but there is still less 
horsepower than the v6, but only like 8hp. The 20V probably (and I dont 
know this for a fact, because Ive never timed it) slower than the v6, but 
it FEELS faster. I have the 20V after driving the v6, and it just felt 
better to me.


They put a turbo in it, and called it an S2 (although that was really the 
coupe and not the 90 (2 door version)) but it never made it to the US.
