Warwickshire Plod STs get 260hp
Yes, apparently the Focus STs used by our jolly old boys in blue in Warwickshire have been tuned (IC, Map, Filters) to take them from 225hp up to 260hp and a tad under 300lbs of torque!!!!!!!!!
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=19911 Nowt wrong with that but I did like the comments.... ‘We've been very excited about the Mountune Performance modifications. The car is now more responsive and with the benefit of the improved torque the officers engaged in response and pursuit situations have more options available to them. Response driving is stressful and inherently hazardous but with the improved performance it's reduced the overall risk to the officers, and therefore the public.’ But if its the public who get their cars tuned then we are a danger to other road users, we pose an increased risk, blah, blah, blah. Just made me chuckle how when the shoe is on the other foot......

I wonder if they put them all back to standard before they sell them.
