    Seems 370hp is not reliable. Look the 2.0T A8 WRC and 1.6T WTCC engines, clearly 1.6T WTCC have much more power than WRC's. They even claimed that is only around 380HP.

    The WTCC run bigger restrictors, more or less the formula of WRC next year.

    It always depends if the dyno is properly set but 370 Hp for Focus WRC 08 would be IMO quite realistic figure. For Focus 05 I don't think so.

    I am quite sure that WTCC 1.6T with 36 mm restrictor have over 400 Hp.

    Mirek， you seems always not believe factories' figure. It's hard to believe current WTCC can reach 400HP because they seemed very slow compared with other touring/GT cars.

    When we look Nurburgring's lap time, TC1 car has a huge gap to FIA GT3 cars' even the GT3 R only has 500HP.
