Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/10/11 05:54 AM Share Posted 13/10/11 05:54 AM They're very familiar with the car lol From memory, the ZF is rated for 650 Nm. Pity Ford didn't want to spend the money and put the better version in which is rated for 1000 NmYeah that's the thing power might be ok but it's the torque these things make that does it.
