Some example performance figures from Autocar for amusement (1989):-
*Montego DSL Turbo*
0-60: 13.2s (12-12.5 for TD maestro in later tests)
50-70: 9.2s
1/4 mile: 19.1s
Max speed: 101 mph (105 maestro)
*Maestro 1.6 HLS*
0-60: 12.0s
50-70: 7.8s
1/4 mile: 18.4s
Max speed: 102 mph
*Metro 1.3L*
0-60: 13.0s
50-70: 10.8s
1/4 mile: 21.2s
Max speed: 93 mph
ps: can't find 1.3 maestro listed though :(
(Just as a matter of example not intended to offend)
Ford Sierra 2.5D : 0-60 *17.5s* :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Ford Sierra 1.6L : 0-60 *13.0s*/Montego 1.6L: 0-60 11.5s
Escort RS 1.6 Turbo: 0-60 9.2s/ Montego 2.0HL 0-60 10.1s :eek:
Escorts are slightly quicker than maestros though except in 50-70 range and generally overall 1/4 mile times (where it matters most).
