Not much more that 180 brake as the ST weighs alot more than the Escort.

its a fiesta so 180bhp would be a good match for a focus st so 230 would destroy it i presume

I take a mate of yours has recently bought one (thats normally the case), remember an st will probably leave it when it comes to corners so invest some money on handling related upgrades.
