260bhp in a Tigra sounds a bit like pub BS to me.

With a Calibra turbo motor in it though it is more than possible. I would think the Fiesta would out handle the tigra due to the sheer weight of the engine. Whether that would be enough to make up for a 60bhp defecit though I doubt it. Straight line my money would be on the Tigra.

nowt competes with good old massive power to weight ratios
