Well looking at the figures it looks like it could be quite close on the straights Len same bhp per ton, the corners though you'll be reading the stickers in the back window it's very similar to the mk3 16v except if you park it in the rain between now and spring yours will melt into a pile

also mine is knocking on the door of 150bhp possibly a tad more by springtime
