Was a little bored last night, so as you do, i went for a bit of a cruise.

After a while i stumbled across a Cossie in front of me at some lights, both turning right. Now i appreciate quick cars, and i knew the Cossie driver had clocked me (we'll call him Gaz), so we both took a right and this takes us through a village so obviously we were both giving it a little fettle in second gear, letting our exhausts roar and dump valves be heard (it was like we were throwing the guantlet down) but not 'caining' it...

Anyway, the road opens and heads up a hill, i knew "Gaz" was gonna nail it, so anyway, we cained it off up this hill, in second and third i kept with him, but then we were gettin to silly speeds so i backed off...The point on my little story is that the Cossie was very quick, however the horror stories of handling are true as it was twitching all over the show!!

What sort of power are they whacking out, i was mildly impressed!;)

224bhp in standard tune, 500+ in advanced tune could be anything in between really, more likely to be around 300-350 as it starts costings more money after that. I am not a performance ford expert but I do have a fun ford for running round in ;)
