Maybe this settles the arguement?...

PS: Sorry if it's been posted before, but having owned both over the years I found this really interesting. I've always felt the Mk2 to be more keyed in but miss the Mk1's demands on my concentration!

PPS: Has anybody ever tried a Mk1 to Mk2 tyre/wheel swap?

Very interesting.
My initial thought when I heard the Yank voice was that the 2nd gen model was going to be the 2.2 Litre. But it appears that the engines are the same here.

That's a good video. I've not seen it before.

And it now means when I pass <04 cars they've got excuses.

And I laughed when he took the shortcut

So I guess this means that officially Moonrock is the fastest colour ( as it only came out on the 2nd Gen model )

Its strange that, as I have always found, I usually can catch later models on the straights with the higher rev limit. Saying that, it would'nt be hard to change for 17's and update the geo to match, think I'll be sticking with my ap1 thanks very much.
