Focus RS

[Gally]

Pmsl! Owned!

Women for you!

I would have set a restrictor at 40!

 

[Munson]

TBH all cars should beep when there's a woman behind the wheel.

Yeah, but that's on the outside. With pink strobes. So we know to give plenty of space to them.

 

[Munson]

And proximity sensing airbags for the alloys.

 

[JD]

Just buy a car the missus dislikes, boys. Mine won't get in mine, let alone drive it as she hates the colour.

 

[nufctoon]

car looks mint! any plans?

 

[Cal182]

You lucky B'stard! How much has it cost including PX if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Munson]

£28,100 with LP1 and Supaguard (I don't do detailing). I got four large PX for the 182, which is bang on what I expected.

 

[pip.]

You must have a really small penis.

Nice motor Dan. Hope you're going to abuse it as intended.

Did you get some snow tyres with it btw?

 

[Munson]

Yeah it is pretty small.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Impressive bit of kit.

 

[Paul.]

gorgeous!

 

[.Ben.]

I like that a lot!

A few years ago, I briefly owned a 55-plate, pre-facelift ST which was a great, if thirsty beast. Would love an RS now though.

Out of interest, did you drive an ST for comparison? Does the RevoKnuckle setup *really* make that much of a difference or is it a gimmick?

 

[Munson]

Not driven an ST. It does torque steer, quite a lot on bad surfaces. Then again with 320lb/ft it should do. The traction is mind boggling. It's not much more prone to wheel spin than my 182. They did something very right with the knuckle/dif.

 

[pip.]

What are the power and mpg figures on these?

 

[Munson]

Quoted as 305ps and 324lb/ft.

MPG f**king forget about it. GPM more like.

 

[m4rkie23]

LOL!

 

[Sarah]

nice

What are you returning so far mate?

 

[Munson]

Think it was about 17mpg last time I dared look.

So that's about 302 brake. Fook!

 

[Alan]

Rather nice, well played mate.

They are very heavy, and geared to make the performance useable, so not as rapid as the numbers would suggest. It's the torque that tells the story on the road. I don't use 1st gear, and second is just for pulling away. Most low speed stuff is 3rd gear, and even then there's only the turbo lag standing between you and the next target. Very brutish car.

 

[JD]

Nice, but useable I hope?

 

[Justin]

Nice! I think I'd have picked the blue though

17mpg is laughable for a hot hatch!

 

[-Leigh-]

LOL at costing ~£30 to drive 100 miles.

 

[Needster]

I don't think Roy gives a fcuk about that TBF considering he's just spent 24k on it. LOL!

 

[Munson]

Nice, but useable I hope?

Very much so, besides torque steer. Comfortable and quiet when cruising, lots of toys, lovely chairs. Then when pushing on it changes character. Induction roar, turbo noises, lovely sound, pops and bangs on the overrun. A feeling of unrelenting power, and the car seems to always urge you to point it at the horizon and ride the wave of torque. It's definitely a car that requires a lot of self control to drive responsibly on the road.

 

[Munson]

LOL at costing ~£30 to drive 100 miles.

LOL too true, and no I don't give a f**k. I'm hoping it will return between 25-30 when the novelty has worn off a bit.

 

[.Ben.]

...there's only the turbo lag standing between you and the next target.

I was like that in my VXT - I drove it like a fuc*ing w*nker tbh.

 

[Paul.]

lol , worth it though to hear that noise:evil: Loved the sound of alans when he took me a spin. Would you consider having the alloys in Gloss Black?? Theres a white one same as yours up here with them done and it looks fantastic!! Has the plate RS 09 OFF

Just how a car should be.

I wonder how long it will be before someone does a weight save on one of these. Now that would be interesting.

 

[Munson]

Black rims would be epic on a white FRS. I doubt I'll do it though. Standard FTW.

 

[seb]

I like it. Good work roy

 

[DazG]

Lovely motor, nice step up in performance from the Clio.

I would have to say I think white would have been my choice as well!

 

[Munson]

Are you not meant to be skiing? Pics?

 

[RDH]

Very very very nice cars, would give my arms for
one. Read I'm evo though that very few are makin book
power. One they had was only making 276bhp!
