Title: Question for you all!
Post by: ReeceH13 on January 11, 2013, 10:54:36 am
Qestion for you lads,

Going SantaPod next month, I have a £50 bet on a 1.6 Ford Fiesta Ztec S MK7

He swears blind he is going to win? Is he just very stupid or has he somehow got a chance? Car is standard as I know... I am in my 06' GTI MK5 DSG 70K miles, been well maintained.

Stats compared to a golf are laughable

Cheers  :happy2:

 :signLOL: unless your reactions are very slow, or your car explodes, your going to be £50 up.

Sounds like he have never been in a quicker car to me, the fiesta is the sh*t as far as he is concerned.

Do you know the guy?  If not, he might have a pretty heavily modified setup lol.

If its not modified, i agree with the others, up the bet lol.

Ha-ha I thought as much, he is getting a bit big for his boots, car is standard I am told... Might up it to £100...


Make sure you use launch control!!  :happy2:

Launch control? Sorry for being thick I didn't know I had it? I imagine its best to put it in 'S' mode also?

a few figures from Parkers:

GTI (3dr)

Power       = 197 bhp
Weight      = 1485 kg
Power/Ton = 132.66 bhp
0-60          = 6.7s

Fiesta Zetec S

Power       = 118 bhp
Weight      = 1045 kg
Power/Ton = 112.92 bhp
0-60          = 9.6s


As above, up the bet!!  :evilgrin:

For launch put in S or Manual Mode. Make sure traction control is off. Hold down the brake for a least 1 second with your left foot. Then full throttle with your right foot!!

Then release brake when your ready!!  :driver:

x2 Practice your launches! DSG changes can make a real difference even if the other car is more powerful...

If you want to humiliate him further, get the 6hr revo trial map put on :) he'd have no chance in a 2 litre St fiesta let alone a 1.6. You could pull away in second and still wipe the floor with him

Lol, the fiesta zetecs really are not quick in the slightest, my 106 gti used to destroy them and the ST's and the golf is faster than my 106. I say up the bet, then when he losses go again at 'double or nothing'

 :driver: fun fun fun!

My OH has a 1.6 titanium Mk7 (latest shape, but not facelift one) and they are nippy cars for why they are but no way will it beat a GTI in a straight line or at all come to that, unless its modified.

Also my car is standard (got a milltek cat back now) 05 manual and every time it's been on the Rollers at JKM it's always got 197Bhp like the day it did when it left the production line. Just make sure you have 99ron fuel in it :happy2:

Put some manners on the little squirt!

Best out of 3, lose the first (on purpose), win the second, up the bet A LOT and then spank him proper good!
