Take solace in the fact that not only does your car look better but will be around long after the fordy has rusted into a little heap. (ex ford fan)

 

[mattb]

That would be a Ford Focus ST
Clicky
225PS and 320Nm

Suprisingly, cars have come on in the last 10 years, having 250bhp in a heavy saloon doesn't cut it anymore and hasn't for at least 5 years if not more.

 

[waynegts]

had one on the private motorway in my mates calibra turbo,
was doing over 150 on gps, they are fast mate,

5 cylinder turbo and tunable

 

[Deggsy]

If I remember correctly I'm sure even ol Jezza Clarkson was pretty impressed by the Focus ST. hey are a good bit of kit.

I agree with MatB - 250BHP these days is pretty 'normal' and doesn't cut the mustard anymore.

 

[Deggers]

I went up the quarter mile against one at Shakespear and nailed his ass to the wall.

Took a tuned skyline to do it though.

Nippy little buggers.

 

[koh]

its a ford with a volvo engine,so they will all get understeered into walls and lamp posts like all the other fwd trash
must say that asbo orange is the worst colour ive seen since bmw did dakar banana yellow m3's

 

[telskyline1]

have to agree guys our cars look and last better but there are a lot of new motors out there that will give us propblems now, i myself used to be a ford boy my old sereis 2 rst would beat a standard gtst (its was 200bhp+ with 227lbft at 3000rpm)so there's only one thing for it wiseco pistons new ecu and injectors big turbo and loads of boooooooost

 

[davidc]

also look out for new beemer 335i coupe turbo....v.e.r.y.f.a.s.t......

was driving the other halfs RX8 yesterday as well.....was happily zooming along until i came up against a new beemer 320d.....it pulled away easily....

Sorry to dissapoint. Koh!!!! "lamp popsts & things" I have both skyline GTS & focus ST-3 ( the missus car)

Skyline has teini coilovers, strut braces etc, Stage one tuning etc. Focus is bog standard.

St handling is Far far far superior to my skyline. Feels so much more lighter & responsive. 6 speed too!!.I love driving it. Get out of the focus into my skyline & it feels like i've climbed into a turbocharged brick.

Feels scary & wallowey over 110 tho ( on continent ) Skyline will happily cruise 150-160 over near essen. This is where it is the true GT car.

Sorry lads & lasses.

Still prefer the Skyline anyday because of the living legend it is & iconing awe factor it gets.

Skyline wins cos it a SKYLINE lol.:booty:

 

[Snakeman112]

Now she wants me to fit induction kit, decat & exhaust so it sounds like the skyline :drivin: eeeek!!!!!!!!!!

 

[360auto]

i came across a seat leon cupra near wellingboro earlier this year, and up to 80 ish he beat me but over that the skyline pulled him back into line.
but they are very quick, don,t know what hp they run ??

 

[Wookie.]

Another one to watch out for is the Skoda Fabia Vrs. Only reason I could pull away from a 40mph rolling start was the fact I had an extra 2000rpm through the gears :crazy: :crazy:

Mondo torque :sly:

Thats why I have nearly 400 instead

I had some fun with an ST a little while back, left it for dust...

 

[clarky_gtt]

had a play with a focus st recently, left it for dead. i was running 320bhp back then...

 

[SARU]

a mate had a seat leon cupra, all standard and he said it was 150horse and 4WD
fast indeed but i didnt think it was faster than a GTSt

 

[cossiedave]

my mate has just bought an focus rs and that is pretty quick..........

you have a damm site more than 2000revs the furby vrs is a diesel,and my missus whupped me from 40 to 90.And be extra aware that there are some modded ones putting out 250 bhp and nearly 500 lb ft of torque

 

[Wookie.]

I do know it's a diesel and I change at 6500rpm every gear

 

[chief-long-shin]

I managed to push a porsche 911 turbo ( older one about a 92 ) along for while the other day until i backed off yet today it took until high end of the revs in 3rd gear to get away from a z3.
