why do you think that ford limited the power output on the st?
they've put a bigger engine in to make more torque to make it more driveable
Yeah, cos thats a coherent argument?
i wouldn't have made it otherwise now would i as top gear represented yesterday, a car with less power was 2 seconds quicker round their track so power isn't everything, also, the vxr and the focus were a good few seconds apart, even the st was quicker and there is around a 25 bhp deficiet from the ford stable
Just to clear it up
