I agree, when my series 2 had just been set up the power curve was spot on and i kept up with a 52 plate wrx (on a pirvate road obviously) and that was with 197 bhp & 238lbft but i had 200lbft @ 3200rpm all and 238lbft @ 4-5600rpm. so my tourqe matched if not beat his and my car is around 350kgs lighter as scoobys wigh in at around 1300kg's
