Well i think a good overall response has come from this thread, better than some of the other bec v CEC's
CEC for traffic and regular use
BEC for trackdays and 100% thrashing on empty roads.
I did agree with this, but after now popping the zx10, i'd say CEC is more reliable as well!

Horses for courses. I love my Peugeot 406 to death, if I'm going somewhere that takes more than an hour, or takes me through a city centre
they're the keys I'll pick up. If its a sparkly Sunday morning the BEC will get a thrashing, absolutely nothing better for the job. I had
a car engined seven before the Fury, the power to weight ratio was slightly down on the Fury but not hugely, but the difference in driving experience
was massive. I'm no more interested in a 'fun car' that has good mpg, comfortable etc etc than I am a family car that can do 200mph.

How about this as a compromise.
190BHP, 6 speed box, 850Kg and 8500 red line (with its after market pipe on it even sounds like a BEC).
Both on road and track I've been soooo impressed. I've done 2500 miles in the month I've had it, totally useable transport and as
much fun as you can have on track.

Edit to add it is a Toyota engine so 8500rpm all day and no HGF to worry about.

Have to say after having an R1 and now the ZZR14, the bigger cc BEC is a nice option, lots of low down torque @5000 and right up to 10,000 if you want
to get a wriggle on!
The only CEC that i'd consider if i had to go CEC would be a S2000 with turbo

Don't know how any of you drive without reverse on public roads....I find it a hassle not being able to reverse in the paddock!

They have become rock hard and bloody awful, the last 10 Plate A4 I drove was one of the worst riding cars I have ever been in. I used to love Audis
(owned a few) but I wouldn't buy one now.
Buy a CITREON or Peugeot if you want a smooth ride.
As for BEC or CEC debate, its just as pointless as debating what sort of music is better, all that matters is what you prefer.

Without reverse?
My BEC has reverse and I'm pretty sure its a requirement to pass the IVA.

yeah, wasn't for SVA though, so plenty of BECs going about without reverse i imagine. plus the ones that 'fell off' after IVA...
