16v vs fiesta Zetec S vs cav GSI2000





WOW! came down to a set of lights on a 3 carriage way road near me and in the middle lane was a cavy gsi 2000 , sporting some nice wheels a big exhaust, and in the fast lane was a zetec s feista, windows down pumpin out the tunes... - by this point i thought " f**k me! how lucky! and there bound to be wantin to race.. excellent!"

lights changed, off i shoot.... fiesta not too far behind but getting further.. the cav must have well bogged it on his start and was well back and gave up... by time i get to 60 - 65 the fiesta is well back but now gaining as i stopped at 65.. flys up behind me and slows and just stays there.... strange... but i had to turn off, so thought nothin of it.. shame the cav didnt get going good would have been excellent!! - was wet though maybe he was spinning it.
 


the S is only 106bhp though......but a FANSTIC handling little car.......simply superb! if it only came with 120bhp, it would be so much better than the saxo.
 


nobody.

i just meant that, its not really considered as a warm/hot hatch cause of the lack of power.

BUT, if it did, i would be better than the saxo......

just using saxo as a comparison as its the same engine size...

Well if it were a Saxo, and he had anything bigger than size 9 feet, hed have been behind the GSi!

I part exd my Saxo for my 172, Ive got Size 10s, and with me Cat boots on I couldnt drive the bugger - Mind you it was only a 1.1 Forte lol.

I used to have a Zetec-S and I used to love it...nippy little car and a good handler. Wanted more power so went for the 172. Build quality of the Zetec-S was better than my 172!

Yeah but a Zetec-S is a 1.6 16v 105bhp whereas a Williams is a 2.0 16v 150bhp...I hope you did destroy it! My mate bought my old one and I destroyed him in my 172. I let him get to 80mph and then floored it past him :D

Yeah, its a shame theyre so underpowered. I think they look very cool tho. Did anyone go to the Birmingham motor show and see that hi-spec (turboed?) Fiesta concept jobby. I really cant remember the name/spec/anything about it, but i think it may have been mid-engined. I wonder when thats coming on sale?
 


ben

shame about the cav. i raced one two months ago and could not get past it till 130, off the lights u will kill one but once moving those damn vaux engines are strong units
