to be fair u are running 17's and 4 big exhaust (lack of back pressure / restrictive exhaust system anyone?) - even if ur car was 75bhp it will be less with that exhaust system.

Book figures say they are the same. But I reckon the B would be quicker also.

Agreed, I'd imagine the C is a bit heavier...
