If I remember correctly, the 12HP difference is in peak power. The big difference, as others have pointed out, is torque at lower revs, where the difference can be closer to 30-40 ft-lbs.

Ray,

I've got a '95 with 18" Classic II wheels. IIRC, the only mod required is the steering wheel brace, but even that mod appears to be inconclusive.

CP,

Here's another thread on the '95 vs. '96 debate:

"Advantages" of each:

'95: Fewer CEL problems, apparently don't have the intake carbon buildup problems of later years, no "Immobilizer" lock system, cheaper than later cars. 12HP advantage of later years I believe is largely psychological.

'96 and up: You can diagnose CEL problems with a laptop and independent software, nicer third brake light, can fit 18" wheels on them w/o some suspension changes, late '96 and newer don't have wiring harness trouble, only way to get a C4S.
I like the basket handle on my cabriolet.. (Personal preferance type of thing)
