As for what the thread is about the hgt is an na engine meaning smoother power delivery through the rev range. For example mine at 136 bhp and a seb 2 sporting an average 165. Its only 29 bhp difference when turbo is applying the presure

A hgt will then be able to keep up with a seb 2 for some time.

Like i said in terms of street cred cars keeping up with higher powers is in the eye of the person.

It could be 1 cm or 10m all depends on how the person views the performance of the two cars
