Ford's figures are from the flywheel. Did you take yours from the rear wheels?

As dyno figures cannot be compared to anything but the same car with the same dyno operator, assuming the dyno has not been re-calibrated between the tests your best determinant is how you "feel".

The 155bhp is the corrected flywheel figure, this was the point I was making, it means nothing because I didn't get a chance to test the car in standard trim. The actual power at the rear wheels is 127bhp which again I'm not sure is relevant because of the comment made by the tester.
