It's actually got a REALLY good front end on it, and you have to force it to understeer .

He has slicks and £20k worth of suspension components -v- my £2.5k . If his car didn't out perform mine, I would want to know what Ford Motorsport did with their suspension budget .

However, thanks for the comments .
