No I'm driving with the original one. Do you what changes there are to them?

The overboost doesn't come into play. The car pulls fine, just not for the first 2-3 seconds when changing gears and giving it max throttle.

What do you mean you would never hammer the throttle? I'm not giving it full revs while changing gears actually quite the opposite since the revs are very slow to loose the revs when accelerating hard and changing gears swiftly.

      I really don't understand some ST owners beef with the ZS or the rest of the fiesta range - it's really pathetic to try and explain to everyone else that they should have got an ST just because you dr

      The ST and the ZS might look similar, but they are very different cars: The former is quite fast, has better brakes, is quite thirsty and is more expensive to run; The latter is not so fast, quite a

      People know the difference of the power from the ST, to the Zetec S to other trim levels, so you wouldn't really be showing anyone anything new?

    Have you got the latest map? I know previously there was problems. You have to remember the over boost is only a period of time, before it needs cooling. I would never hammer he throttle!

    wow, lenghty debate of zetec s vs st.

    I think they are both excellent cars. The zetec s is a lot of fun for a 1 litre. The 3 cyl engine sounds awesome and the laggy turbo with a big initial shove (for what it is) is entertaining.

    However, dynamically you can't compare them. My dad runs a an ecoboost fiesta to work, driving it then the ST is night and day, the ST is in a different league and honestly the ecoboost car feels like a sboat afterwards. I still love both cars for what they are, both are superior to their respective competitors.

    However, I don't think someone should be bigging up the ST on a 'best way to accelerate a zetec s' thread tbh.
