Big factors with the ZS180 is the torque and low gearing, I can hit 60 in 2nd in the ZS but I have to slip into 3rd to do that in my T16 maestro.

This is because although I have the best part of 200 bhp I am using the Maestro 2.0i PG1 gearbox which has the lowest ratios of any PG1, I was going to build a box with custom ratios but some scum bag nicked the 2 doner boxes and the torsen diff that I had set aside.
