you can tell me that all day long....i know its not true. ......
if you know, then WTF are you still asking? :-? Even 2 brand spanking new cars aren't guaranteed to be producing exactly the same bhp's and years down the line will have lost a few horses - do you never watch Top Gear with the challenges?
The model will make next to break all difference to 0 - 60 times. The biggest difference will be if you're 7st wet through or a 30st couch potatoe.
im asking because i had no idea on the range of engines

the only engines i know anything about are Xe's, now without someone telling you, you would be forgiven for thinking that the x20xev is as fast as the c20xe or the 20xe , all three are 2.0l engines, but with out research how the hell are you meant to know the difference, guess work..?
and what happens in topgear once they have given the car a service? it restores most of its power.
for instance the main things mechanical that will strip engines of power is mainly rings due to lowered CR, and a few other things eg stem seal rubbers, valve condition, pretty much everything else can be restored with minimal effort (just a good service)
i am not scared about taking the engines apart to hone some bores, fit new rings...and maybe lap in a few valves. but if the engine is still only capable of 10 seconds 0-60 then all this has been a waist of time, hence me asking which was the faster 2.5 in the omega range as i can restore lost power
