same here mate. I raced my mates standard 1.7 and there wasn't much differencee at all, Obviulsly he pulled away at top end due to VCT. He was shocked, I actually had my nose in front til 35mph. Alot of people mock the 1.4 before they have even driven it because they assume a 1.4 will be slow, thats BS. obvioulsy your not going to get lighting pace and it is clear the 1.7 is quicker but it isn't slow by a long shot.

In that case slap in a Unichip for 500 notes and you'd possibly hardly notice the difference.

Doersn't the 1.4 have extra power in first gear? That might account for some of it.

It has no torque limiter, while the 1.7 does yeah. I would imagine it would have no more power than the 1.7 in first, but I doubt it would be any less.

Yeah, torque limiter, yeah, that's what I meant. [Backs away head in hands desperately trying to blend in with the nearest wall]
