My 75cdt has been 'breathed on' and is close on the torque feel of the V8 I would say. But the thing is though it is close the V8 seems limitless where as the cdt is still wheezing at about 115 to 120mph. I've got the ronbox, airfilter and a slightly adjusted air inlet.

Even that is 80p per litre round here (at a commercial pump) we do pay (slightly) less on the farm

I went for the non SE, as I have a history with Rover/BL etc and really like their cars, but they just didn't develope them.
As such I thought that all of the toys on the SE would probably be a liability.
However I think that from this forum, that this is probably not the case?
My second reason was that I also wanted the lighter car. After stripping weight from my Mustang It really makes a massive difference to not only the acceleration but also handling, brakeing, MPG. It's just like free horespower.
I also feel that the non SEs are not exactly Popular plus spec. But I must admit that I have added leather seats, electric rear sunblind. And I am in the proccess of adding electric rear windows and the Chinese double din head unit.
