8.7seconds 0-60 of a standard 1.7 Puma I think. I learnt to drive in one.

Daz.

 

[boyracer666]

it is that-quoted figure is 9secs but if pushed prob 8.7-i just laughed when he told me, and he wudnt beleive me that it cant go that fast

 

[Bryan]

the Ford Racing Puma is a little bit quicker, but nowhere near a v6, and on the twisties it would be bye bye puma

 

[RSTDL]

LMAO - 8.6 secs to 60 and 123 top end - my mate has one and |I crashd into one yesterday - well she reversed into me - doppey cow! He must think hes driving a cup!

 

[anthonyj207]

Ford Puma? More like a Ford Tabby Cat! LOL

 

[16V_Matt]

really! is it tuned then?

cuz the std one is bout 0-60 in 8.5 or so secs

Matt

 

[boyracer666]

no-it is strandard, just got it. it dont go that fast but they refuse 2 beleive it wont

 

[RobFenn]

lol oh dear hairdressers car. The puma racing is excellent but would get killed in a straightline by a 172, let alone a V6.

 

[007]

It would be annialated but not on the twisties - Pumas handle very well indeed.

 

[16V_Matt]

find a 16v to race him that may shut him up and listen!

Matt

 

[RobFenn]

On the road though a V6 has plenty more grip and the mid engined layout is far superior so also on the bends it would be killed.

 

[boyracer666]

gud idea matt, but dont kno ne1 wid a hot hatch, i shud hire a 1.4 16v and can b in my dust

 

[Dash]

I very seldom do the " Mines faster than yours stuff" but I have a review by EVO which says the Clio V6 is realistically about 5.7 secs to 60. I really cant see how a Puma could match a V6.

I have let many a Puma zoom past me simply beacause they bore me.

No challenge = No fun

I prefer to take on something more serious, and even get toasted. ( am I wierd or just too honest ? )

 

[boyracer666]

i c wot u mean, no point racing a car that u can beat in 5th gear, wait for a challege and at least u lose tryin if u do lose

 

[16V_Matt]

not quite the 16v i was thinking of but hell could work!

 

[McBunny]

a racing puma can and will beat a 172 around a twisty track

 

[Dust]

I agree, bit like leagues really, race people in and above your own league. Anything below is petrol wasting and contains no adrenaline rush. I had a go at a GT2 the other day, not because i thought i could do him, because i thought it would be challenging. And it was, the guy was obviously a sh*te driver and i kept up with him round corners, but then he put his foot down on the straights. Woooosh. Byethen.

 

[Bryan]

the FRP is a good car (shock- admitting a ford is ok) but the std puma is nothing

compared to a 172 the std puma would have no chance

With ease. They are monsters on track. Suprise a lot of people.

 

[boyracer666]

wudnt pay the price 4 a racing puma tho, not worth it-not exactly a car 2 say u got and make people jeleous of

 

[clean16v]

You make some very good points Dust, although, i really cant help myself when the 1.3 nova is stuck on my rear bumper and then goes to overtake

Ahh well those situations are acceptable, and v.amusing! You can hear them put there foot down.....bbaaarrrppp....then slowly but surely go to overtake. And all what goes through your mind is, er.....no mate, dont think so....va...va...voooom.

 

[007]

I know clean16v - I had a 1.6 Orion attached to my bumper the other night - we are talking cms off my bumper - I let him and his big bore exhaust pass me once on the dual carrageway then thougt sod it and blasted past him. Pr!ck.

 

[Adams_16v]

A guy I used to work with reckoned he had a puma and it was that fast you didnt need to change from 1st at any time. hmmmm

Not true, they are very good handling and maybe can carry more speed around corners due to the wider track but still pace lets it down overall.

 

[CooperS-Boy]

I have a family member who owns a Racing Puma and to be honest it is not really that quick over your average b road and there are plenty round our neck of the woods. Nice looking car though. Has had it for about 3 months or so now and is already thinking of getting rid.

I would recommend you read the magizine article on this very website, 172 v Integra Type R v Racing Puma.

On track the Puma was quickest, but maybe there wasnt many straight bits.

 

[McBunny]

thats why i said a twisty track

 

[ak_uk]

I agree with Carlos - My understanding FRP was a superb handler, just not that quick....

 

[aaronc]

The racing Puma is NO faster than my 16v in a straight line.

My mate has one and we raced back from uni many many times.

Although while i was twitching on 3 wheels while cornering he was gliding not twitchging at all.

 

[Dust]

Thats what Independant MacPherson suspension does for ya! All wheels stay on the ground!

 

[007]

Dont quote me on this as I could be wrong but I think the test figures for the FRP were 0-60 in 7.9secs. They basically took a normal Puma and dismatled it - then put it back together with some uprated parts- giving a FRP. I think they made a big loss on everyone due to the time it took to do - LOL - What bright spark decided to do it this way = Build a Puma - Dismantle a Puma - Rebuild a Puma with some extras = Loss!

 

[Dust]

lol. Stupid mailto:m*@her">m*#her f#*+ers. Wonder what it would be like if they put the new RS engine in one? They should have made a Puma RS or Cozzie. Could have been PhAt!

 

[Ben H]

The FRP was a special edition of which they were supposed to make 1000. They only made 500 in the end because of a lack of demand, but I think thats more to do with the price of a practically bespoke car (£22k) than a lack of talent.

I think in the twisties it would be bye bye V6, Ford Racing Puma, has one of the bests front wheel drive chasiss, too good infact for its 153 bhp. These things corner like they are on rails, and carry so much speed through a corner it is unreal, we couldnt shake one through redgate and down the craners in a scoob, i doubt the twitch short wheel bases v6 would stand much chance, in a straight line it would win ofcause, but who likes driving in a straight line !

 

[Clart]

hahaha whos the fuk is this bloke?

Do you mean me ?

 

[Craggy]

there is a racing puma near my mums, i raced it a fe w weeks ago before i realised it lived on the next street from me mum!, a v6 would nail it in a dash, dunno how they handle
