Edit - Just noticed its Whitties old one, always looked in top nick that.

I was in a 1.4 sport last night at the local drag strip and raced against a 1.6 sport.

Not all that noticable off the line (although the 1.6 is abviously in front) but once your getting close to 4 th gear then you see the difference lol

Of course thses things could have been down to driver etc

Think theres just less than 20bhp between them.

Bit of a silly question really as no 1 on here will have driven both cars so how are they to know.The only 1 that will be able to tell is u so just wait until u get the car then u will know for sure.

14bhp is big difference, but won't blow your socks off. Its the extra torque that you will feel

change the inlet on a 1.6 and there is a few bhp to be had though.

After owning both, i cant really tell much aof a difference. I raced my mate at York Raceway, for the 1/4 mile. He had a 1.6 Sport with air filter and backbox. I had 1.4 Sport with air filter and backbox and de-cat, he run a 17.1, i run a 17.9. So not loads of difference.
