I'm not bothered if it's a Zetec then, be more interested if it was a 1600

Thanks

It'll be interesting to see how this guy gets on though. If he has similar suspension set up to mine, which in truth is quite basic. He would have around 50bhp more than me and bet his boost comes in with more of a punch.

Would be fun though, I hope he has a soft rev limit because I would guess that's where he would spend most of time lol

What's the point in having all that power in your 1600 when your afraid to use it's full potential

Mine will get a hammering regardless of whether it breaks something or not

I apolagise but I thought you were being sarcastic about the cvh vs zetec

But you did say that you weren't sure whether to take your car to the Performance Ford Thrash incase you had a repeat version at Brunters.

You have a very fast car there. Use it to it's full potential
