Just got dusted by a Fiesta Zetec S - (help)
Hey guys,
I need some assistance, I was driving down a dual carriage way at about 35 in 2nd and a Zetec S was hovering next to me. He planted it, I planted it and he took off, about 6 car lengths infront. I only caught up when we slowed down for the lights then he took a right.
I looked up some figures for it, 0-60 is 9.9, with a top end of 114!
I need somoene to reccomend a good rolling road/garage who can help me in Leeds or West yorks. Any ideas what the problem could be? Its really annoying cause the car seems to run fine, I had optimax in it too!
Cheers in advance

If you check out their Owners Club at www.zsoc.com you'll see that many of the cars are running more than the standard 105bhp, after they've had them on a rolling road. There's also quite a few performance bits and pieces available for them.
If he pulled six car lenghs on you, and you're planted in 2nd, I'm presuming it's a 'tweaked' one
My girlfriend's sister has one and it's a nice little car. I did look at them but liked the Polo's build quality and look better. Great handling car though too.

my dad had a zetec 1.25 for a bit and that went to 115 and i know the 1.6's would beat the GTi in standard form...
