If it was that gutless, how come you have to tune a Pinto quite a lot just to get standard DOHC power?
Are you calling Pinto engines gutless as well

Mate... I don't care what you think. I KNOW they're gutless.... For a fact. I've driven one. Slower than an Air Hostess doing quadratic equations

not wishing to start an argument, but I've got TWO of them, a non-cat 2wd and a 4x4 with Catalyst and can show you probably over 80 other people who have them as well. They are quicker than Pinto and CVH-powered ones and slower than 2.9 V6 and Cossies.
You must just have driven a bad one. Don't tar them all with the same brush........
