The difference between the different variants of chim is an going discussion. Until the other day I hadn't driven a 4ltr, but my mate recently invested in a BV version with cherry bombs and it sounds awsome.
It does seem to rev easier than my 500 but theres a massive difference in the way they go. Accelerating from low levs is the biggest difference. The 500 will pull from any rev range where as the 400 dosnt seem to come to life till 3000+. After driving the alfa for the past few weeks it still feels like it goes like stink, and its the push i needed to get mine back on the road asap.
So my conclusion is if you want something that goes well, looks great and sounds awsome get a 400, but if you're after full fat hanging on by the seat of ya pants then theres the 500. And yes the difference is VERY noticeable.clap

Without actually being in anything remotely like a 'high' state of tune of course smile

Bit like comparison rating a slingshot and catapult on a scale of 1 to Uzi hehe
