I fully agree that reliability and durability are the key points when a technology is tested to its limit...no point having a car which has many hp but always, 'gantung' in the workshop for repair...
I hv driven a GEN 2 with campro engine....the feel of the engine, was like really heavy when the RPM reached around >5k... of course, the sound of the engine was like screaming out loud..haha... I would say, it has a mid range torque, bad acceleration and for top end, I should say it is not bad at all since most of the times, I observed Waja and Gen 2 were always on the overtaking lanes...
Also, if we compared the performance in terms of power to weight ratio, maybe Satria Neo with Campro CPS has a better advantage though...what say you?
I am sure those high performance workshops would consider adding more horsepower to this CPS technology by all means of modifications...anyone heard of B.O.T. on CPS engine thus far?...
It is interesting to know, how well we know about our local flavor of CPS engine...what could be done to further enhance its performance to gain a respectable hp.
I am not sure how I-VTEC would perform....but the new Honda City has the highest HP in its 1.5L catergory...salute..
Hope to get more discussions on this topic...
