The Fiesta would probably still be easier to drive faster.
On paper the Escort should probably destroy the Fiesta...so it'd probably take a pretty big leap to actually beat it.
Although it is noted they complained about the lag...wonder how a small turbo Escort would fair. No doubt fast spool, torque, wide power band all also help the Fiesta than the headline number.
