Default Performance Ford

I have been reading this and i saw in the edition prior to the 3dr (white Jam - Sport) that they were going to be featuing a 550bhp (from memory as pissed) 3dr then the feature came out and it was claimed as 430ish if i recall, was this the same 3dr just down on power???

You will have to excuse me as i get the mag a month or 2 behind Sorry.

I have seen a few things like this and my other point is

On the stats page were it gives power is this the power that the owner is claiming and of the cars that have give power how many have you seen graphs for that are relative to the spec and engine?

Mike

(not a dig Ben just questions as i enjoy my read on the can in not so sunny Alaska)

No it was a different car. When we plan an issue and organise the cars for that mag sometimes things go wrong. The owner can't get time off work, the car gets crashed or blown up etc. Stuff thats beyond our control. We've got a few cars lined up that we've been promising for months and every month something goes wrong.

The figures are only the ones that the owners have told us. We have seen graphs for one or two of the cars but thats all. But from the spec and the times the does we can get a rough idea of if the figure is about right
