Full race spec KR wouldn't drive like crap atall, for the job it is built for it would be a realy clean reving screamer of an engine. However for a road/occasional track car yes a 2l could would produce similar power at lower revs with more torque ane be far more driveable.

In lighter cars like Mk1's lots of people prefer the shorter stroke 1800 engines over the 2l because of the revy characteristics. Each to their own.

The car in question is a road car though..

Sure, a race spec KR will rev its nads off when it eventually comes on cam...great on track...poo on the road!!

For a road going car, 200BHP is only realistic from a 2L with all the works..

A standard 2L block with a lightened flywheel, such as my own, has no trouble revving to 7.5K revs..
