My mate reckons that an L Reg 1.6 Peugeot 306 is actually quicker than an N Reg 1.8XT Peugeot 306 - Is this true?
I cannot see how it possibly can be (unmodified) - it's not as if the weight would be any different.
Any ideas?
Is there a website I can look up?
Cheers

So it isn't on paper, although I'm sure my 1.6 is quicker than 13 seconds! (but I haven't timed)
But there isn't so much difference I don't think to justify the lower mpg of the 1.8
There was also a 1.6 16v very late in the life of the 306 which does match up!...
