The main reason I mentioned the Roadster especially 3 L cars (200 to 230bhp), is because they generate the type of power you are looking to emulate with the duratec. I found with my Roadster S2, the slightest bit of damp and the power would overwhelm the tyres and also in the dry create masses of axle tramp under harsh acceleration, or as I found on wet cobblestones in Morecambe, just couldn't get any grip as the wheels just span. .

So it was more of a case of driveability and being able to lay the power down because of suspension and chassis limitations, I was hoping to point out. There's very little point in increasing the power output if it then starts to compromise the driving experience.
