That's 100 bhp per litre! WOW naturally aspirated too

Now I think someones been optimistic here but it is a ford.

Not even the Ford Cosworth BDA (1.8) 16v gave that! It was 115 bhp @ 6,000 rpm.

My brother spent ages and and a chunk of cash to get his mrs Escort GTi to 155bhp. 180bhp may be a smidge optimistic.

RS1800 engined must be the 180bhp, my mate had an RS500, the one with 500bhp from the factory.

Ive seen far worse cars on this Forum & more optimistic Power figures as well. The young cant afford Power so make it up. Nothing wrong with that they believe it. They then race other cars with the same false claims its what they do. This will find a proud owner who will add a few more horses when he tells his mates.
