Other than VAG, is there no other way of getting 270+ out of one of the rover/mg engine?
bhp is only half the story, your forgetting the extra 50-60 lbft of torque this engine will bring, and its this that will make the car so effortlessly fast.
It might have only 230 bhp but that torque will mean it will accelerate as quick in 4th as a modded nasp zs does in 3rd.
