Im impressed with the new Peugeot range. They all seem to have quite high BHP ratings.
My 1.4Si is 90bhp!

As for the auto mini doing more speed. ive noticed that auto Minis have better top ends than manual minis. :S

I had a 1.3i Auto that did a good 110mph. And now i have (Had) a 1.3 manual mini with stage 1 which only managed 100mph

The auto most prob has a longer diff than your 1.3 manual. I dont see the point in going at that speed.
