what does it mean when a car "BOGS DOWN"
as above,
is that when wheel spin kills the power (turbo charged cars) on front wheel drive cars?
i get that alot on the focus st when changing too aggresively from 1st to 2nd, wheel spin then the power just gets killed!
i've heared the term bogging down quite alot now but not too sure if its what im experiencing?

The term 'bogs down' can be applied to lots of situations and just means a slow down.
In your case when changing from 1st to 2nd your road speed isn't high enough when you go for 2nd, so bounce it off the limiter a bit longer and keep your foot flat on the throttle when changing, that way you will maintain your wheelspin and look cool.

the wheels are quite big so to keep the wheel spin going takes a bit more heart and heavy foot, my old rs turbo had 16" wheels and same scenario was easier to keep the power on but maintian long wheels spin.
