But also PSA cars have stronger engines than Fiesta. Probably because of that MSport prepares new spec of engine, it should be homologated in January I think.

Are really PSA cars stronger? Maybe the power is higher but torque? They look quite dead from hairpins. Maybe it's just due to bad anti-lag or I don't know...

Juho Salo said in an interview that his Peugeot has 290 ps (or was little above). You (br21) once said in the “R5 news” thread that the Fiesta has about 300 ps.

People (good drivers) who drove both cars (Fiesta and 208) say that 208 has stronger engine, throttle response is better, etc. I never drove Peugeot personally so can't compare. Anyway 208 with long gearbox can reach 200kmh, I can't imagine Fiesta doing it.
