hmmmm doesn't it seem a little 'lacking' in torque though that a turbo engine would give?

Sounds like it would be very cool, how did it actually perform? Anyone know? I'd love to see it in action....

Wouldn't this NA car be lacking the torque that the turbo competition has? Surely it would be.

I have to say I can’t understand the move to go rwd – at most rounds they won’t be competitive, and the Focus is fwd.

Regardless of lower weight, I still reckon it will be suffering from a distinct lack of torque.

It's also the only car in the field with a 6-speed as far as I know so it can stay in the power/torque band better. I can't wait ot hear it, imagine the sound of a 209kw 2.3 N/A engine!!!!!!!!!!!!! No cats, perhaps straight cut gears.. mmmmmm
