What T5s or the 2.5T (lpt)?highlandsflyer":2ymqzae8 said:
T5s have at least 25bhp more than the 2.5T, Rs 40 - 50 (depending on transmission).
And T5s, in the real world, would probably struggle to get to 160, the lpt engine isn't going to be as quick.
Even Parkers says that not all the T5s get to 155 (and that will likely be an ECU imposed limit), and say the fastest 2.5T does 140. You've only got to look at the numbers, though ~200bhp in a large estate, without tweaking and lightening, ain't going to trouble 160.

I thought it was a T5, don't know why and I did not read closely.
Indeed it would need chipping, etc.
I have been in a T5 knocking the limit, takes a LONG time getting there, but as you say the shape is against it.
Rather like boats.
