9-5 Aero
The 9-5 Aero will be equipped with the B235R
engine. Aero models are available with either
manual or automatic transmissions. For model
year 2002, the horsepower of B235R engine has
been increased to 250 HP, while retaining the
previous torque rating. Note that Aero models
equipped with both automatic transmission and
manual transmission have the same horsepower
and torque ratings for 2002, however the RPM
range for maximum torque differs slightly
between the two versions (see chart on page
11).
