So the 2.3 16v and 2.9 12v both pump out about the same PS / BHP ?
How do the torque figures compare - didn't notice those in the engine info ?

To summarize
2.3 16V: hp 147 @ 5600 rpm and 202 Nm @ 4500 rpm
2.9 12V: hp 145 @ 5500 rpm and 168 NM @ 2500 rpm
So the 2.9 has more grunt on lower rpms (being a V engine), but the 2.3 is overall better, but to be responsive you also need to rev it more

I think that the max torque value for the 2.9 12v on the main site (168Nm@2500) is wrong, the old 2.9 12v BRD from the Granada Scorpio had 226Nm, and even the 2.0 8v has 167Nm... 
This is what i found about the Scorpio BRG engine: 2.9 12v: hp 145@4500 Nm 222@3000
So, in this case the 2.9 12v should be faster than the 2.3 DOHC.

The handbooks give it as:
2.3 16V: hp 147 @ 5600 rpm and 202 Nm @ 4500 rpm
2.9 12V: hp 150 @ 5500 rpm and 229 NM @ 3500 rpm
