But seriously, a MK2 trying to take on a ED30?
On another note, how far can MK2 owners push their cars to get more ponies?
Just stating this, not saying take it as gospel or anything, but a mk2 16v with a 2.0 bottom end, decent manifold and exhaust should put out 180ish if set-up correctly, resulting in the following (according to letstorquebhp.com):
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 180
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1020
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 179.30
0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.20
0 - 100 (Secs) : 15.95
60 - 100 (Secs) : 9.75
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.62
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 95.74
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.42
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 97.45
Stats given for the ed30 are:
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 227
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1328
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 173.68
0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.31
0 - 100 (Secs) : 15.67
60 - 100 (Secs) : 9.36
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.69
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 96.79
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.49
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 98.48
Pretty close as you can see. In the real world you're probably going to have better in-gear acceleration, but it looks like the mk2 can still put up a fight
