I think the performance of the 1.8 in MkI and MkII is the same, so if the MkII is substantially heavier it must have a bit more poke too.
But I don't think it is all that heavier, isn't it just a 'facelift' and not a whole new car?
By the way, my favourite Zep song is "The Rain Song" - not exactly heavy metal is it?!
