You mean standard for standard?

I would expect the Fezzy to be a little more responsive due to it having a girls turbo fitted as well as it being down to power to weight.

management is a lot better than the escorts.a lot more responsive. its not really down to the turbo.i had a go with my mates 180bhp fez.he had hybrid t2,i was runnin 190-200bhp in my escort. both launched them off the lights and i was in front from the word go.by the time we were at about 80- 90 mph it was like he hit a brick wall.i pulled and pulled.im sure if he slapped a t3 on it he wuld munch me like i did him!!!!i must say they do feel a lot nicer to drive than the escorts though.WEIGHT does come into it though!!
