I myself have the T5 in my car and although heavier it will out drag a coupe on a straight line.I wish it didnt in a way but its a fantastic engine.
The 2.3 engine is the best as it can run higher boost.
Other than the rods being weak on the earlier engine its almost hassle free motoring.
But money aside i enjoy driving the coupe even in standard form,and it puts a smile on my face everytime whereas the T5 is a more mature car and much refined.


You have a T5 lump in your car!!?? Why is this the first i have heard of this!?


Back to topic it will be very close but i think the coop will just edge it lets not forget he has to change gears one extra time just to get to 100.

My mate's got an ST, standard it's just torquey but not all that fast. I leave it for dead in my Flea map coop. I don't think a remap would change things in his favour much.



Coopless!
