nah yours is white so you would have kept up:p
 


Sounds about right...172s vary a fair bit power wise and wether theyre run in or not (despite what some people will claim). Racing one flat out on the straight in a valver means you wont encounter any the problems of falling out of the power band assosiated with the 1.8 (i.e 0 torque below 4.5k)...so fairly even IMO
