The 1.25 uses that nippy tuned zetec. Whats i like is that the parts are exchangable with the PUMA. just like the escort is to the mondeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 probably to do with the power to weight ratio. the 1.6 fiestas are faster than GTi's a guy in the MKV Reg shown that lol the Zetec-S, according to stats in Fast Ford shouldn't be quicker than a 1.8 if standard. This has come up before, and they are wrong on some of the Fiesta stats, cos some of em are just plain ridiculous, but the 1.25 will definitely be quicker than the 1.3, much better engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 it was standard and an 04 plate in red with the standard wheels and everything was suprised it held its own for a festa even after 2 miles of full out racing it was still just 10 car lengths back when we had to slow down now either it was suped which i doubt or theyre actually pretty quick and TBH a 100bhp car vs a 200bhp car wont be that much of a rapeage, i reckon my old scort against my new ctr or the lude wouldnt ever be left for dust unless on long straights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
