In fact, I am not bothered about 10th's of seconds or a few Kw's here or there.
When I bought my Sprint I thought wow, Ive always admired the XR6 Turbos and F6s and now I ve got something along those lines, not geeze I'm good I ve got a few more Kws than an F6.
It seems to be non Sprint owners which are trying to shoot Sprints down, not Sprint owners worried about their cars. Can't say I've heard a Sprint owner state that GTs or F6's are crap.
What makes me laugh, however, is some comments floating around forums which just simply try and shoot down the Sprints simply because the person making the comment doesn't want to hear about anything that could possibly be some sort of improvement over his car. I also find it odd how much time non Sprint owners seem to spend on Sprint threads.
And I am sure in time Ford will sell some sort of Mondeo with a 400kw twin turbo six and 4wd which would eat any Falcon. Can't say I'm losing any sleep over it. I would be disappointed if the next performance Ford sedan is not an improvement over the Sprints.
In time people will laugh at my Sprint only putting out 370KW, when their self-driving electric bubble has 500kw. And I won't care!
Actually, I've got answer to why some cars have more power than they should; apparently some guy on the production line would always order hot chips for lunch and the guy further down the line would think he said "cop chip", and install a police spec ECU......
