Guys... BLM is just BLM. Its a normal car with 1.3 campro engine (dont even have cam profiling). For commuting from A - B, this is a good car... but for racing or spirited driving, I don't think so. And why come up with the idea of comparing 1.3 engine with 1.6 engine?
However, I have to say that BLM is rather fast for its class, and stable too. Tested once with a brand new BLM (stock), i was trying (not full throttle) to follow him to see how fast he was going... then it was almost 140km/h. Once he reached 170km/h, the car seemed stable but struggling to keep up to that speed. So I had no problem overtaking him until I hit my speed cut at 180km/h, this is also not full throttle yet. So I slow down again to 110km/h, then he tried to cucuk me from behind. Now the fun begins... downshift to 4th gear, full throttle till 8000rpm and BLM slowly falling back from my rear view mirror, until it totally disappeared. Then after a few minutes, I slowed down back to 110km/h, he appeared again. Tried a few more times until I got bored, so i just drive in cruise mode and reached home safely.
Bottom line, 4AGE is definitely more powerful than BLM (be it factory spec, paper spec, or whatever spec). Enough said. The only thing we have to lookout for is BLM MIVEC... but shouldn't be a problem for 20V.
Btw, 1.6 BLM is using first model campro without CPS, IAFM or anything...
