First thing is the pedal response, The 13b with the FI
is real good. i mean it's mad quick yo !! The 12a spins up faster IMO, because it's a 12a. If a 12a had FI that may just be the ticket, without porting,,,or maybe ported. So far,,still i'm liking the 82 dash over the 84's
because the tach is right in the center ! the biggiest guage ! The -SE ,,to me. feels bigger even though they are pretty close to be the same cars. The 13b just has more ***** or maybe it's torque that is the difference
i feel.

 

If they are both stock, or running correctly,
Then there is no comparison. The SE is superior in every way.

But yes, the BIG difference is the low-end TORQUE that
only the 6-ports enjoy.

 

There is the consideration of the additional 200 pounds that the SE carries around with it. I do agree that stock for stock, there is nothing like the feel of the 6 port 13B, and it's impressive torque curve.
