Just sharing..
Received my Gen 2 CPS.
Compare with my old junk Mivec, here is my observation :
- Power to weight ratio : Old junk is gain good power to weight ratio as 1.3 Satria chasis is super light !!
- Gear ratio : Mivec gear ratio is drive by 4.592 FD, while Gen2 CPS is set up with 4.302 FD. Have an impressive pick up on 1st and 2nd gear on Mivec, while CPS designed smooth pick up. Therefore, if u are talk about 0-100km/h , 0-400m test, still Mivec take advantages. However, Interm of top speed stability, GEN 2 will smooth mivec easily. ( Don't told me that how good is the suspension u are put in ur wira / Satria, after 160km/h, still floating ).
- Throttle respond : of coz is Mivec as drive by cable. However, new CPS have capable to acheive euro4 emission control as drive by wire.
- Stock set up on chasis : Gen 2 is giving me good impressive on handling and high speed stability. Thanks to the heavy and stiffer chasis design.
-FC : average from my old junk is 18 cent per KM while CPS is offer me with 10 cent per KM.
The conclusion after owned 90s technology engine vs post yr 2000 :
- Pick up : 90s engine will win as no emission control.
- Chasis design: post yr 2000 is focus on safety and stability. While 90s is mainly on power to weight ratio.
- FC : The latest engine u have, a good FC u get.
If u are look for good performance, u have to :
- pay for safety ( light weight chasis )
- pay for high speed stability
If u are look for safety and high speed stability, u have to :
- pay for pick up
If u are look for performance , safety and high speed stability, u have to :
- Look for Euro car like Golf GTI, Clio etc...
