OK so to recap....
The theories posted about the vehicle travelling in 2nd posistion are very good points I should imagine. To an extent I agree as when I was in 2nd posistion the difference didn't seem as great. However I still gained very slighlty on my mate.

Maybe it is because I didn't care much about running in, just did a few hundred miles steady away then opened up the taps. Another point could be that I don't have an airconditioner whereas Simon has a Climate Controller. He had it turned off, whilst I'm no anorak, I'm sure the unit has got to weigh a fair bit. Or could it be that the Chilli spoiler causes drag?

Or indeed as mentioned it could be the vagaries of production, although our Cars are both November models I think.

Anyways whatever it was or indeed is, I'm looking forward to more clutching of straws by Chilli owners. As said above, I ain't fussed.
