Default 1.6 Zetec vs 1.8 Pulsar

After dropping me off to pick up my car around 5 in the morning ....my mate and i were skrewing around on the roads as you do when theres nobody around ...nyway ...3 out of 3 launches my Zetec outlaunched my mates 1.8 pulsar .... I think hes got a 2000 model pulsar? ...
I think this is largely due to the ratios in the transmission ...Zetec launches much quicker in first ...makes about 1-2 car lengths then the Pulsar is able to keep up ...
nyway ...thought youd all like to know ;)

Not surprised it was kinda close, the Fez will have weight on its side as well. Best bit is once some corners are thrown into the mix the Pulsar shags itself right up.
