remember that even though the 2.0L V6 has bigger power/kw - there isn't much extra torque there's not enought twisting power to push it harder/faster down the tarmac faster than the 1.8 I4.

base V6 has about 6% more power to weight more than a base model I4.

about 12% KW and 13% Nm more from engine as I recall,

i got that time from motor or wheels magazine who ever did the test on the v6 so its prolly not the quickest time but a sorta more of a street time
