If you're worried about beating other cars, get the Rallye OTR. Though then you'd probably moan about getting beaten by a 1.6 Corsa with a silly VXR badge...
Yeah I was replying to Matt but you got in first lol.
Newer engine tech is something that does interest me tbh, still finding out little things about the DV6 that make it lighter or more efficient lol.

Power isn't really relevant for this, its torque that matters here, and your torque hasn't hit max until about 3k iirc...in the Corsa it'll hit max torque well before 2k so will obviously pull away while you're still waiting for boost! VNTs make diesels so much more driveable. Plus, how much more torque on a S1 HDi? Probably not much in it...
that's why I said new engine tech, it might have the same amount of torque as the HDI stage 1, also gearbox ratio plays a good part too.
