You can get a Zetec Powered Mk5 XR3i?? And did they not do RS2000's till the Escort went out of production? Mk3 and 4 XR3i all came with a 1600 CVH (some 90's spec mk4 came with "improved" NOT! EFi, over the older k-jet MFi system on all others) The Mk5 XR3i all came with a 1.8 16v Zetec (in two flavours 105 and 130 bhp, the difference being better cams, revised ECU and bigger throttle body IIRC). Although RS2000 where made in Mk5 and 6 shapes, the production life on the Mk6 was short and did not (to my knowledge) run until production ended. I personally prefer the mk5 over the mk6 as it look more agressive and had that cool bonnet as well  |

150PS = 147.96BHP (Multiply PS by 0.9864 to get BHP). Edit: Apparently 0-60 is 8.1 or 8.3 seconds, 16.4 quarter mile, 133mph top speed. 190Nm makes overtaking easier than in many similar cars. I know that the Yanks´BHP (SAE) have to be converted because they measure the engine performance without ancillaries but I always thought PS ( Pferde stärken) = Horsepower was the same as BHP..only in german! |

I know that the Yanks´BHP (SAE) have to be converted because they measure the engine performance without ancillaries pretty sure that this practive ended in the 1970s, hense the rabid re-rating of engine power. However there are still correction factors used in both DIN and BHP because of the need to observe standardised barometric pressure, altitude and temperature effects... The US doe suse a slightly different set of standards for this than soem others, which results in lower numbers than are seen when used on a standard aftermarket dyno. EG you take a 200 BHP engine out of a prodcution car, dyno it and it comes out at 215 HP or something. (aftermarket dynos use STP correction factors) I know they (the US motor manufacturing industry) recently changed the correction factor for water temperature because modern cars run hotter than older ones for emissions reasons, so the new standard is based on 190* instead of 180* or something. Its all pretty confusing. And another reason why you can't just say "this car has X bhp" and make assumptions about the performance or driving style. |

I raped one on track, and I'm not exactly the best driver, and my 205 only had 101bhp at the time.
