Why would he go with a xsara if citroen can controle the engine output, you know they won't let Petter have the power to compete with there "Golden Boy". Just like the other week in Ireland Loeb clearly had more power than anyone else in a C4.

I don't know all the technicalities, but surely if Petter has bought the Xsara, he is free to do what he wants with it? He is not part of any Citroen Team - he just happens to be using one of their cars, now privately owned.
Why isn't he allowed to modify the engine?
Or just more talented?Quote:

Watch the video of the last SSS, he clearly has more power.Quote:

Agree, but I picked a spot at shakedown yesterday, with a turn in the bottom of a uphill, that went over a crest. I had good sight of the bottom corner and uphill to the crest. Petter was very fast exiting the corner as where Loeb, but the C4 picked up incredible speed during the uphill and where considerable faster over the crest. Loeb and Sordos cars was even faster than the junior team cars. The Xsara didn't look very fast uphill, but looked like it was handeling well and could cary much speed out of corners.Quote:
