MCS in EVO

This month's EVO is interesting, MCS vs new Fiesta ST, Clio 182, C2 VTS and some Seat Ibiza.

Surprisingly the MCS was the same 0-60 at the 182 and then slightly quicker 0-100.

This is the first time I've seen the MCS beat a 182 in the straight drag (182 is quickest round the track, MCS second)

Looks like the extra HP and different gearing have made a difference.

Says who? I've never seen manufacturers giving out that sort of comprehensive data before, and what about the track times?
