What are they...96bhp?

I think they are around 10secs to 60, prob 9.5 though. As for top speed. Not much over 100 is possible

Maybe they were refering to the MK1 @84bhp, that's even slower than yours.

it's got the same engine as the XR3, which was 96hp. simple K&N bolt on will see you hit the 100 hp mark with a bit of tuning

first thing, alot of fast fords stats are either slightly wrong or plucked out of thin air

and second of all the 1.6 cvh on a carb even in a light car will be slow, it may have been 96bhp when it left the factory 20+ years ago, these days you'd be lucky to see 60ATW
