2.3 vs 5.0 weight Reply #1 – June 13, 2011, 06:36:27 PM Almost a dead wash. If you're looking at it from a weight savings point of view, that's not where it's at. Quote Selected

2.3 vs 5.0 weight Reply #3 – June 13, 2011, 10:24:09 PM The difference is the placement of that weight. The 2.3T sits further back, thus improving the front/rear balance over the 5.0. Quote Selected
