Default Performance Differences

Hi to all,
I'm on my 3rd classic shape, love em to bits, especially the raw gutteral power!
However i'm on the hunt for a new car. I test drove an absolutely mint uk 300 last week with PPP (about 245 bhp so ive been led to believe) and it seemed so slow compared to my standard uk classic? is this right?

True, but also it will seem less dramatic due to the smoother, more gradual power delivery of the Newage.

If you assume 1235kg, 215bhp for the classic and 1385kg and 245bhp for the WRX300 (assuming it's not 265bhp), then the "LetsTorqueBHP" website calculates a very marginally quicker 0-100 for the WRX300.
