Because insurance doesnt go on bhp, it covers cost of repair, desirability to theives, ease of theft, speed cars capable of etc etc

Bla bla bla 130 bhp bla bla bla insurance group ... bla bla bla bla...
These engines make a range of powers. You can't pin point which one.
group 13 / 14 as they'll do 0-60 in similar to most similar grouped cars (7 ish secs) plus as said 'hot hatch' = gonna be driven like a knob, and stolen etc.
Mine made 141.5 bhp with just exhaust + filter, so can't see that mine was standard 120 bhp, otherwise filter + exhaust gave me 21 bhp

E16SE Nova GSi engine engine is 1.6 8v and 100bhp, this engine was developed in 1986, why 10 years later have the French not developed a 1.6 8v to produce more? They are stupid.

lol how the hell does that make that true? Just because the muppet believes he bought one with 130 bhp 'as it's a rare model' ... The funniest part of that post was the fact that he said he had 155 bhp from just a exhaust (which still has a cat) and filter. And that he was using a rolling road to measure his 0-60??

wow, I'm famous, in your signature. There could be a difference to someone that has no-idea, like my Grandma (or me! :lol
Racing could be fast, stiffened suspension etc like SRi, Sport could have smaller engine but look good, SXi maybe?! That theory is completely wrong way around and I did know the VTS is a faster one, but this is the French we're talking about!

no they didn't muppet. Infact later model Gti's make less power after remap due to their 3 plug ECU's! Check on PGAC / SSC etc - most later model gti's after cam's remap only making about 150-155 bhp, earlier ones make 155-160 bhp after remap (dependant on cams etc obviously).
End of the day, as steve said - 'In general' the cars just made different power. Don't believe any crap about a certain year, a certain 2 prongs or any other crap.
Mine made more than 120 bhp standard - but mines 1998. I know 2001 Gti's that have made 118 bhp on the rollers standard.
Cars just generall differ from model to model - theres no '130 bhp model'
