Totally agree. Love my 180 but have always wondered why manufacturers like Ford & Vauxhall seem to be able to get 220 BHP out there cars (ST220 / Vectra GSI) when there both 2.5 V6 aswell

The st220 is a 3.0 v6 and tbh I think most car company's make up the facts and figures to suit the car a prime example is the clio182 which makes about 155bhp if your lucky The civic type R has always seemed overrated
I never take much notice of bhp figures the true way to test how fast a car it on in the 1/4 mile

I guess that makes sence. I constantly telling people a story about when i raced a V Dub Coraddo VR6 on the way home from Glentress where i go biking. We were both on a straight and i was guled to his back bumper from about 40 MPH to about 100 MPH where he started to back out and i kept my foot in it.

So i sailed away from him all proud of myself and my car, feeling great UNTIL!!

Made it all the way to Glasgow, was sitting at a set of lights at St James'es interchange and an old rusty yellow (R) plate punto GT pulled up beside me. At this point in im feeling pretty cocky as i just beat a 2.8 V6 and i know the punto it a 1.4. So hes sitting beside me reving the nuts out this we motor and im just sitting there laughing at him.

Well, guess who got the last laugh (Not Me)

I swear to god. I gave my beloved 180 everything and couldnt get near him. He was off like a bullet

Moral of the story, dont judge a book by its cover !
