Thread: which P38 ?

If i recall correctly, i believe the GEMS 4.6 had 157kw, then later the first of the thors had 150kw but higher torgue som 400nm, then the last of the Thors kicked up to 160kw.

That'd be it!

2001 & 2002 MY cars had the high compression engines. They have a 60D prefix.

I shall have to take a gander at my late 2001 car

Nothing wrong with the 4.0 Thor engine. My old 1999 4.0 had just as much grunt as the previous 1995 4.6 HSE GEMS.

The 4.0 (S, SE) models in Oz were considered "pov packs" as, unless optioned, generally did not have the nicer interior, sunroof and extra footwell lamps of the 4.6 HSE models.

Just got to look at my engine number today and its a High comp 9.34, 60D prefix.
As its got sequential gas I recon thats a good thing.

Same price in Perth but at least I know my high comp engine is going to make better use of it especially on Police engine setting. Will use Gas in Town and petrol on runs.
