> [@Holy...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/holy/32062/3): > > whats the linear got in it?? motor wise?? all of the 03-05’s 9-3ss have the same 2.0 DOHC turbo ecotec based motor. The linear is rated at 179hp and 195 torque, but typically dyno at 190 whp and over 200 ft/lbs. Underrated to say the least. The ARC and Aero have the same motor but a bigger turbine and slightly more boost. They are rated at 210 hp and usually spit out a little more to the wheels. You can tell the difference in 9-3’s by looking at the trunk. If it says 2.0t (lower case t for smaller turbo) it is a linear. 2.0T (upper case T for larger turbo) it is an ARC and the aero’s will just say aero on the trunk lid. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mustang-loses-to-saab-family-car/191945)._
