Re: What will she make???
Id say about 163bhp at the wheels and maybe 170 atf?
Im secretley hoping that theres been a mistake somewhere and all the Phase 1's are actually making 268bhp lol, although i very much doubt it
Cant see it to be honest, from one car enthusiast to another you know full well of power to weight ratios of this im convinced, yes?
I didnt until today realise that the 197 was considerably heavier than the Phase 1 (ill use this as an instance seeing as i own one)
But to say its faster...
Sorry to drag it out but is the 197 faster than a 172?
I didnt think about it much as there from totally different ages of hot hatches but the 197 is over 180kg's heavier than a phase 1?
25 bhp of a difference to lug an extra 180kg's about?
Not a flat spot in performance, a flat spot on a tyre (i.e surface of one of the tyres has mis-shaped its self whilst hitting a pothole) or anything else that our glorious roads may offer...
:rolleyes:
