Yeah the redtops are 150bhp (with a cat). The BX GTi is 130bhp if you're lucky, only very slightly lighter and doesn't rev as high.tim leech wrote:Hmm thought the calibra was 150bhp in 16v guise, my mate had a cavalier GSI 2000 and my 16v would blow it away!
The BX 16v would indeed blow a Calibra redtop 16v away. The only Vauxhall that gives a BX 16v hassle with that engine is the Ashtray GTE (or Nova/Corsa if they've gone to the trouble )
