Default Had the car set-up yesterday and it made.......

215bhp and 260lbft peaking 1.6bar holding 1.3bar

Absolutely made up!! Always wanted 200 from the start!

Not massive power to a lot of people but makes for great fun in a little fiesta!

Bit of a handful in the wet lol

You certainly have to keep hold of the wheel lol
Already heard a grinding noise resembling a gearbox about to explode
200 is certainly enough to be fun!
Fuel situation is interesting to say the least

the problem is not many people can handle that power. put them on the track in a 500bhp saph and they usually suck. power in a straight line is nothing if you cant control it in the bends.
