lots of people missing the "turbo" bit from the description. Ive got a V6 mondeo and its fairly quick, but a little lightweight turbocharged hatchback like that would destroy it off the line.
Mondeo probably has a higher top end thanks to the gearing mind you but cars are built for different things.
all comes down the torque at the end of the day thats why it was so close, the hefty v6 in the mondeo could pull a train whereas the little fezzas engine might accelerate quick and develop more horsepower but when they both get up to speed the mondy will keep pulling much harder than the fezza will
@LIP15 I don't see your point...infact, you're just backing me up because the mondeo V6 has terribly long gear ratios which only hurt the acceleration more. I don't know why I'm having an argument saying that my car is slower than another...this seems very backward.
Good Mondeo driver there, he is getting away well in spite of quite poor power/weight ration and taller gearing.

@rudeboymick
You've never heard of gear ratios then have you?

w mondeo jechał chyba jakis kulawy koles, albo krecil tylko do 3 tys. obrotow.

@dunadain988 actually it's about 1.3 - 1.4 tonnes.

@HoracePL looks like a standard RS kit to me. Probably lowered.
