    This doesn't really address the SE Vs non SE question but I came across the attached in the mechanics manual.

    Apparently you can do a driver performance slimming course.

    50-70 in 4th in 5.9 surely a mistake? my diesel ZT takes that long to do
    50-70 in 5th,if this is a true figure how long does it take to do 50-70 in 5th?

    Your diesel ZT can get from 50 to 70 in 5th quicker than it can do it in 4th
    Me thinks you've either something wrong with your car or it ain't a standard ZT oil burner.

    50-70 mph in 4th: ZT CDTi = 8.0 sec; ZT 131 CDTi = 6.8 sec; ZT 260 = 5.5 sec.

    Ah...I didnt mention it doing 50-70 quicker in 5th than 4th,BUT it does 50 -70 in 5th as stated in 6secs, 50-70 in 4th is slightly quicker,the fact the diesel doesnt rev very high doesnt help in 4th,over 60 in 4th its just screaming to be changed up,nothing really special about mine,like most diesel ZT owners who read the forums you soon realise a few cheap mods release a lot more power,bigger air intake,egr bypass,better air filter and best of all roverrons tuning box,only 150-160bhp but almost as much torque as the 260 and 45mpg easy,still want a 260 though,just for the noise

    ...and there was me thinking that at a supposed 300Nm at 1000rpm, the 260 matched the CDTi at its peak .

    What does your breathed on CDTi pruduce at 1900rpm ?

    My 75cdt has been 'breathed on' and is close on the torque feel of the V8 I would say. But the thing is though it is close the V8 seems limitless where as the cdt is still wheezing at about 115 to 120mph. I've got the ronbox, airfilter and a slightly adjusted air inlet.
