fiesta zetec-s? if so supposed to be about 103bhp from the factory but apparently most are about 115bhp. not very fast but they seriosly do drive very very well.they handle superbly but they are just not quick enough i'm afraid. good cars though

Cheers people!! I just raced one. It was highly modified, but not just a boy racers style... it was nice!! Mines got 160bhp, and i wasnt leaving him very fast, i did, but not very fast... so he must of chipped it and other bollox. Top bloke tho, he flashed after i won too... haha. Cheers anyway.

Race my missus Zetec-S the other night in my ST170 and all i can say is 
The ST170 had enough power to close the gap to the ZS but not enough to over take
I dont reckon its 103 bhp as they quote from ford more like 115 bhp. Do go well and the pick up from the engine at low revs is brilliant. Good fun to drive if your not interested in all out speed

I'd say 105bhp. Mine is standard and certainly feels no quicker than any other 100bhp car I've driven. 0-60 is 9.9s but that's changing to third as well as it wont hit 60 in 2nd so thats a slightly slower time than you'd expect and it feels fairly nippy.
Handles well tho and is a nice compromise between fun and practicality for me. As i need something newish and reilable. Good loking car IMO and piss easy to mod. Choice of several engine transplants
I tarted it up with some Ford Racing Seats and it's nice.

i have had on. blue one on 17s
handle amasing, good build quality. comfotable, prettym much everything you want from a hot hatch but lacking in the performance, there just not quick enough. should have had at least 1.8 ztec in
my standard XR2 can whip em all over to 100mph. and thats 16 year old
i do miss mine though..................oh the memorys
