Aaaah, but he hasn't told us yet what said Vauxhall owner is claiming his Vauxhall has power-wise. He's proboably on the 300bhp bandwagon.

1600cc vs 2000cc??

He also hasnt said what engine the RS has got either, so could be 2000cc vs 2000cc

Either way, if it was a 1600cc, it can still have more power than a 2000cc obviously

No idea about the astra, but the outside isnt standard, looks to be lowered a fair bit, got a different exhaust, a few bodywork bits i think so id be surprised if the engine was bog standard.
The escort is the 1.6 yes

My brother was determined to sell his FRST and get an Astra Coupe turbo. Then had a play with one and thrashed it so changed his mind and still has the Fiesta.

It's always nice to wipe the smug grin off somebodies face when they are so convinced they have the better/faster car, BMW 3 series owners are ripe for humbling as even plonkers in 316's look horrified as of all things "A Ford" blows them into the weeds

its even worse for them when they realise that the old 3 series estate thats just blown them into the weeds is powered by a ford lump
