I imagine 400nm through the front wheels will always produce wheel spin if you choose to drive in those controlled conditions. I'm more interested in getting power to the ground without any spin. Actually, now that I think about it, does the Mondeo have a traction control override switch like the FG's did ? I don't think I've seen one in the car.
