Perhaps I'm just getting too used to the 320+bhp that I could only have dreamed of a few years ago - I'm almost hoping that there is something wrong with it :( a few months back I had the opportunity to drive my brothers C32 AMG merc for a month (lucky B*gg*r) and that always felt sharp and never disappointed when the loud pedal was pressed.teebone, Theres not much a ford dealer can do to check power or boost pressure unless the engine is tested at full load on a chassis dyno.A full dyno test is only a 30 minute job and theres plenty around in metro Melbourne.

Fills you with confidence ! NOT ! They will have it for the rest of the week (at least), so we'll see if they can find anything - and how many new problems they can inflict on it ! Worst case, I might have to take a drive down to Melbourne, drop the car in to Peter Luxon at APS and check out the Grand Prix !
