I dont understand the fuss  :undecided:



What a poor power band, peak torque at 2800rpm and its all gone by another 1500 rpm and the bhp figure is even worse  :shocked:

what don't you get??  :undecided:

with one project you get 250bhp, 400lbs ft torque and 45mpg to the gallon

yes the power band is narrow but with 400lbs ft you make plenty of progress in a small space of time  :tongue:

plus its a lot of fun putting a few 'hot hatches' in their place  :tongue:
