I have to say my AU Fairmont Ghia is the VCT and drinks like an 8, so personally i'd go the non-vct motor anywho, HP seems better as others have said.
The s1 is what I have (can't complain... well I can (brakes etc.)... but I have leather and bells/whistles to play with in the cabin  )A V8 version of what I have, and series two.... god if only I wasnt on my p's, i'd sell my one and buy the v8

what's the saying with the VCT, power of a 6, economy of an 8?
I suppose that's better than my 202, power of a 4, economy of an 8 but i bet you already knew that grandpa_spec
