mate has one of these and its fairly quick for what it is, thing is we dont know what the BHP is of it...
he has raced a 306 TD(1.9) and beat it
also raced a citroen AX 1.9TD with dump valve and somwething else and he sorta kept with that until really at the top end.

i know what you mean mate - this one is like shit of a shovel and really does shift- ive seen him chase all sorts - he always get beat but not by much.
he "claims" to have raced a VTR and "only just got beat by it" - his words not mine
this is why i asked the original question as i am on the look out for a 1.6 sport - but i deffo dont want him hanging on my ass like a monkey boy!
