Parkers is semi dodgy but they state
113 bhp
122mph
0-60 9.2

Shocking use of the GTi badge IMO

What car do you have?

I think there were 2 different engines in those, the 130bhp and a 115bhp.

Yes, Very shocking use of the GTi badge. Dont know why they brought it out, should have just continued with the RS2000. Maybe they gave in to insurance companies?

I do not like fords.
Especially escorts. Unless it has a COSWORTH badge on it. (It doesnt count if u have a 1.1 paint it green and put a cossie badge on it) i meant a real one
