    90 bhp I think. I think the 98bhp engine came out on a X reg. If your cat is underneath the car and not in the manifold then it's a 90bhp

    Oh and VTR stands for Vitesse Tres Rapide or Riche. Some people say it's one, some people say it's the other lol

    i reckon its 90bhp, but parkers say 98bhp strange.
