1995 had the 3.0, but still produced 240bhp, i can't remember exactly, but i want to say the 3.2 produced more torque, just seems like common sense.

i think later years saw a different lsd ratio, and the last change they made from 98-99 was a different gear box.

thats all i have to offer off the top of my head.

They changed the steering wheel on and after '98. The transmission change between '98 and '99 is rather minor; it's just a small change in the ZF 5-speed gearbox. They introduced "Fern Green" as an optional colour in '99. The shape fo the kidney grills changed a bit on and after '97... that's about all I can think of.

Oh, and the '95 (3.0-litre) model has 235/40R17 tires on all corners. The '96 and later (3.2-litre) model has 225/45R17 (f) and 245/40R17 (r).
