Please.....I've seen 1.4 4 cylinder turbocharged engines do 220 for breakfast.
Obviously its detuned dramatically, but why? Why not let it loose with at least what the VXR has.
cause for most people its fast enough !!!
you wanna tune it then tune it
also from a marketing point of veiw if you buy a car with 300bhp standard and tune it you get 350 bhp,,,,,,,, thats OK but if you get a 200bhp car and first state of tune you get 250, then theres 275 and then you can get 350 for very little work and not touch the engine more people will actually prefer to buy it and its still gonna be insurnace friendly imo
hope that helps
why didnt they make the cosworth stage 3 to start with ???, was that crap cause of it
