Gambit Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I don't think there is a lot in them. fuel saving wise and more torque and power band a little lower in the rev range for the 2.5ltr but not a lot in it, as you can mod the engines to suit the power you want. So other then Tax and maybe your insurance might want you to pay more. I've never had a quote to check the difference myself Think also you will be looking at Blobeye 2.0 is 55 plate and they changed the engine for the Hawkeye to a 2.5. You might have had an engine swap at the car your looking at, so it's possible you might be getting a 2.5 Blobeye I've just finally let the Blobeye go but if I had the choice would have a 2.5 Hawkeye But what ever you go for you wont be disappointed with either car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
