i cant understand it myself u sure its not a different engine or has it been chipped or cammed or is the vtr fucked? surely both will kill a 1.4 sport on the straight fairplay tho 4 beatin him.

vtr's are not all that quick though. The 1.4 16v sport is a pretty quick engine I think.
Look at the polo's for example, they do a 1.6 8v and a 1.4 16v - The 1.4 is quicker.
