How will i fair up v

[Benbosh]

Hi my mate has just bought a focus RS and i have my clio 172 cup he wants to race (private road!)
Just wondering how i will fair up in mine?? i have had a race with a focus ST (ASBO!!!!) and done pretty well tbh
Mine is standard completly (Apart from a itg panel filter)

The focus will be faster and on the right road surface handle better. My mate has one and although not raced him, been in it and its a supurb car. many mixed thoughts tho!

indeed i just searched through the forum and there seems a lot of different views on this.

the main thing is there handling, the slip diff makes it pull on uneven surface's and isa handfull but on a good surface its fookin supurb and will be better than the cup. Alot of people are biased as people either love or hate fords? but i would have the rs, only reason i aint is im waiting to see if/when the new focus rs comes out if its any good.

Standard for standard, the Focus RS SHOULD be faster......

Im sure ive read somewhere that the focus rs's power are higher than quoted figures from manufacture unlike our clio's lol

After 100 it will be quicker.A bit like the vivic type R
