does top speed really matter tho? It depends on the kind of driver i think RussSome of my mates are crazy about 0-60 times, few others like the mid range punch from a Turbo and few like top speeds. Im a fan of top speeds. Yes I know its against the law and is bloody dangerous to try a top speed but the adrenaline rush is great! Think the best is my mates Escort Cossie @ 377bhp. I had this car for 2 weeks earlier this year whilst he was in the States. Once the needle is on 170mph and the Road Angel is showing 159mph the adrenaline is pumping faster than the first time I injected steroids........great buzz.Must add that the above top speed was on a private air field!
