Have driven ... lots of the Ford racing Puma
Is there a single car in the world that Lynx hasn’t driven, and a single sports/super car that he hasn’t owned? Amazing what he has achieved in this arena.
Out of interest which number frp's have you driven? We may know the same people although, I'm jealous you've been able to have a go, the owners tend to be very precious with them!

Was a quick answer.
The floor pans are the same for the fiesta, ka and puma, ford platform b from memory. Puma 1.7 normal wasn't great, nikasil bore issues and destroying big ends too. Comparing the kurb weights of the ka and the puma, the ka is over 100kg lighter. The 1.6 ka engine has more torque than the 1.6 puma and likes to rev... suppose down to the 8v and 16v difference.
Gearbox wise I think you are talking about the ford racing puma, quite a different beast compared to the usual puma and so the gearbox and drive shafts are stronger than road cars. If not the puma has the same box as the fiesta, ka, escort? focus too.
I have no idea why the puma is a track day car, can understand the ford racing puma but not the normal ones. The street/sport ka have a wider track, wonder if they are the same as the puma or the racing puma...
The KA had a ford build rally car for a race series that proved quite popular.
Have driven all three puma models and lots of the Ford racing Puma ;) KA seems more fun and when they initially came out the sport ka disguised as a normal KA was so much fun as no other car users expected the car to be so quick and handle so well.
