[quote][i]Originally posted by alistairolsen[/i] torque at the flywheel is irrelevant, its the shape of the power and turque curves for the driveshafts you are interested in, and if the 16xe is doing far more revs (closer box) then that argument is null and void (what kills the 16xe is the fact that it has a short powerband, so all those people mentioning peak torque figure can STFU. Power to weight will be broadly similar, an xe and f20 is 35kg heavier than a 1.2 and f10, so its not going to make a difference that demands you to have a trilllion more horsepower. Up the strip, the xe will take it due to more weight nd grip over the front, a wider SPREAD of torque, and more power, sooner in first, lowering the 60ft time (this is by far the most important factor on the quarter) On a track where you can keep both engines in their powerband, they should be very similar given the same power, but the 16xe arguably will handle a little better. On the road, Id rather the 2l as an avaryday car as its more civilised, and more relaxing to drive when you dont want to blat around, but if it was a 2nd car for dry days Id have the 16xe. [/quote]
