Strange, my previous Trophy and current 182 have loads of power right from the off - no flat spots at all. When I drive the 200 I feel I'm thrashing the nads off it to keep it in the power range and then it's change gear time.
Thank Johnny :) just sold my pride and joy 182 Trophy to fund the 200 - but I miss it a lot!!! So hopefully another Trophy will replace the RB 182 very soon.
Totally understand Firefly.
Just remember the 182 and 200 have a different power delivery point - getting power out of the 200 is like straggling a cat - the 182 is such a lively car from the low revs.
