The K engens where Honda where they not? and the 214 is fast trust be with a 0-60 of 10 secs 318 BMW,VTR's and gsi Corsa are no match. The rover free revs all the way to limmiter in every gear and pulls till that point too and will hit 115mph

Think the weight of the 214si is very light. As light if not lighter than the corsa
