Mate of mines been braggin how fast his 1600 focus zetic is sinse he got it its on a w.He wouldent beleive tht a 1400 rover 414 would kick his ass by more than a car length on a 1/4 mile.So we raced on private land last night and i proved him wrong.
Turn ya heaters off boy cos ya chocking on my fumes
He even started earlier than me, and i still caught him up and past him and he was red lining it....Tell ya, these blooys twin cams dnt half kick up some torqe at 5000 revs

Its hardly confusing, a 414 rover will weigh considerably less than a newer 1.6 Focus. Power to weight, plus as you just said 414 has more BHP so really it should win.

But in the end, you're still driving a Rover 414 while he's got a Focus. I know which I'd rather have.
