Nice selective reading tool.

Now I see... This all started when a Fiesta was faster than a Corolla Sportivo

Which has...

Sports Suspension
A close "Ratio" 6 Speed Gearbox
Oh and 4 wheel discs...
Not to mention more power than the base Corolla...
And a number of features not available in the base Corolla...

Oh and Much Quicker than a Fiesta...

Now that I am spliting hairs over acceleration times I am the bad guy...

0.3 of second... Thats reaction time, 9 times out of 10 a Zetec and an LX would be equal except the LX owner has more money in the bank... :MrT_anim:

I think a close ratio box is wasted in the Fiesta they should have put the dollars into.... You guessed it 4 wheel discs... :thebirds:

"Tool"...

Now I have yet insult anyone in this thread... You are out of line...
