Don't forget that VW did put the G60 charger on to a 1.8 16v to give us the G60 Limited, which had 210bhp I think which would be about 70bhp more than the standard 16v engine.

Plus also consider that a 1.8 20v (KO3) Turbo makes 150 and a 1.8 20v NA makes 125 so a turbo ONLY adds 25hp in which case 40 - 60 from a G-Lader is quite good going and consider they are 80s technology.

Whats the weight to power ratios of the newer cars I'm sure they are heavier guess thats all matters, but noted the Rallye is 19years old+.

well its fair to assume most average new cars eg a mk4 golf is a good 200KG+ heavier than a rado.
power to weight is the important issue, taking that on board a mk4 would need nearly 200HP to be on par with a mk2 16v
