and obviously, youre both experts in the field of drag versus power, because you have definitive proof (or at least an equation) that says 74kw is not enough to break 190kmph
Depends on the vehicle that 74kW is trying to push. In a Fiesta, it's not, period. Its too tall and un-aerodynamic.

Whopper, I waited for a week for my car to be delivered. Waiting time of course depends on which Fiesta you're getting, options, colours etc etc.
I was pretty lucky to get the car in a week!
Picked my new Zetec up on monday , Great car and does it go around corners good, Got the windows tinted, Looks good. will post a pic soon. Any one got a standard 15 inch wheel they want to sell so I can have a decent spare?

Cheers
