Agreed its not bad, but its still not that great is it? the new twingo uses a 1.6 16v lump and develops 133ps, now THATS not bad for a 1.6L!
Sorry but citroens target market is the people that want second best!
Yes you can do anything to anything (as was said earlier in thread if you got the money you got the power) but isnt it better to have a good base to start with? Like most people wont have a 1.1 and spend loads modding it, they get a VTS and do that up, they want as much as possible to start with!
Ford is another car manufactuer one that pisses me right off!
"oooh look at our brand new Fiesta ST its a 2 litre! and got a whole 150BHP!!!!!"
my reply is simply...
"renault had that in 1993 with the williams, they're 2 ltr sport hatches are currently pushing 200bhp standard"
