The original one, because it doesn't make you look sound like a barry boy

It's the same with the tubby - despite being petrol it only revs to 4000rpm

no way, my diesel one revs SLIGHTLY harder than 4000
having said that my last few cars had D series honda engines, redline at 8k, hits limiter - never, lol.

Nah, the redline's about 6500 iirc, but it runs out of puff at 4000 (actually about 4200). Flat as a pancake after that. The only time you'll get to 4500rpm if you know the car is in 5th, and not legally in this country
It's a beautiful engine though, truly amazing, completely unique in it's laid back way. Powerful, torquey and built like a TANK! Just don't expect it to be pokey
