WTF....Am I reading that right...thats a video of a modded Focus ST doing a 0-100. That is unbeliveably slow imo....I make it as about 17 secs 0-100 which it should hammer with bluefin etc.

Ive heard of a few people getting into the 6's but at the end of the day 0-60 comes down to driver ability to change gears at the right time and at speed.

You're kidding right!?! The ability to change a gear at the right time and speed? What, so you're not meant to try to pull away in 4th and then change up into 5th when you've exceeded 20mph? That's where I'm going wrong then...

Ahhhhhhhh the good old claire that we all know and love pmsl . . I can't believe the pic in her Avi after she slated clio_babe about posting pics on an internet forum .. what a **** ..

Just ignore these ignorant children, every magazine test has told the fact that the ST is miles behind, and not even in the same league.

That muppet was a total ahole, even with his claimed RR figures (none of which can give exact figures) he wouls be mullered by a 197. There are even people talking top speed!!!!!. bejesus, think about cup racers, who wants a higher top speed than about 120 if you race round most tracks in a byo. You won't even get there.

Ignore and grin at them. Always works for me. They never bother getting closer than 10 yards to my rear after.

Sorry meant to say on roads as well, you will only loose your license. Acceleration and handling, and top end makes the ST a second class car end of. Shame the threads locked.

Seems a moderator might know the result?

Well, you'd be pissed off too if you'd bought a "second best" product :D

LMAO at the "high centre of gravity" comment about the Clio. The Fiesta looks like a van, so how is that any better. If she was driving an Elise or VX220 or other similar sports car, she *might* have a point, but she doesnt, so she doesnt have any point at all.

I'm not quite sure what it is she's so damn bitter about anyway.

I gave up on the ST thread after page 2 so missed your heated debate, I'm fully caught up now and gutted I missed it. You go girl, that was almost anger I sensed in your posts!

I've got a feeling (i cant look at the thread because the forum seems to be down) that the particular video might be barcrawlers ST....

He posted it on a forum i go on in a 0-60 thread, incidentally, I posted mine there as well. I was quite surprised that a supposedly tuned Focus ST didnt go faster than that, and for some reason he got a bit defensive even though I hadnt even commented on it saying I was going to **** off the ST! :S

I'd pretty pissed if my 280 bhp, £19k tuned car couldnt beat a £10k french shed like a Clio though I guess :D

I love the fact she says that the performance of a trophy is better than a 182, they have the same engine!!!

The trhopy did have the expensive dampers and is supposd to be better on track. However you cna find 182's on track quicker than the trophys in some cases.

I dont see how its fair to compare a clio to a focus, isnt a focus more in the league of a megan, and a clio with a fiesta. im a newbie so go easy if im wrong

both capable cars, but why not just go ballsout and get a 1.8t vag car and tune the tits off of that, slap on some decent suspension and you will have a car that is very quick, will handle alot better and is quite safe to be in,

a 172 will outhandle an evo8 on the twisties the way car journalists hype up a cars handling is questionable, on the other hand a 172 cup or trophy is untouchable, it will outhandle a ferrari or lambo anyday of the week. of course ive not driven the other cars but i think its a step down in performance going from a 172 to an evo or lambo................















my opinions based on what................. bullshit!!!!

somebody needs to get their head out their arse or are they so far gone everytime they sneeze bits of s**t fly out of their nose
