Subjectively, I'd say a 2.8AAH Automatic Cab feels about as fast as a 2.6ABC manual coupe in average driving under 3kRPM, but twice as smooth. Delivery is very different above 4kRPM. An AAH will behave a lot like an ABC if the vacuum system driving the inlet manifold switchover is not working. Maintenance is important!
Both are more cruisers than bruisers
Yep, agreed. My AAH C4 Avant is lovely and easy to drive, super smooth and refined with heaps of low down torque, fortunately the previous owner properly overhauled the complete vacuum system so it will pick it's feet up if required despite being a heavy car. I've had a couple of ABC Coupe's which sadly got broken back when they could be be acquired very cheaply and really enjoyed cruising about in them while they still had MOT. I'd say the 2.8 C4 is as about as quick in a straight line a 2.6 Coupe due to the weight difference but as you say they're not really designed for being driven flat out, that's what 7A's and S2's are for.

Been a bit distracted lately with the kids flat and other life stuff but have now finished the second coat on the underneath. Am just waiting for some colour match for the engine bay which is all prepped. So today I managed to carry out a bit of loose reassembling, it feels good to put a few bits on!
