[quote][i]Originally posted by DaveyLC[/i] The XE might be up on power but it all depends on where that peak power is reached in the rev-range, where the peak torque is, how the gearing is effects that and in turn that is all effected by the weight of the car and how much traction it has etc. etc. People spend too much time looking at the peak figures. The torque delivery from the XE1 is almost from idle which means you arent reving the tits off it and dumping the clutch to get up into the peak torque rev-band and when it comes to a standing start its ALL ABOUT the torque BHP just comes into play when you are trying to over-come drag. Theres also 'REAL WORLD' A to B performance, clearly having a substantially lighter engine means a better weight distribution which equates to better handling and thus more speed in the corners..
