found out my rover has a landrover headgasket which is the mls gasket, had it dyno'd, 75bhp standard, serviced yesterday and it runs 74.2 which is good and around 90 ft lbs torque  :grin:

And i still beat one in a ford KA 1.3 with 60bhp  :laugh:
probably a 1.1 spi with a granny behind the wheel..

I think they're great little cars, I just prefer the old front end though before they "improved"  :rolleyes: it.  My dad used to own one of the ZT's, damn fast little car.  I prefer his Mondeo ST now though  :smiley:

One of my mates used to have one of these but the 160bhp version. It was fast.

You have to wonder though, had Rover decided to introduce these sorts of models when they producing the 200/400 late models, maybe things wouldn't have gone the way they did. They may not be the best of cars but these MG models are popular cos you see loads of them about.

Got a soft spot for the MG ZS V6 models in Touring car guise  :smug:
