So What Was Chasing That Focus?

[Peperami]

I reeeeeally want a 200 cup. Ag, black speedlines, black front bumper, recaros. I think they look pretty aggressive, black front bumper looks great!

They'll grow on people. When the 197 came out everyone hated it.

In fact, on cliosport they have for every succession of clio ever.

still couldnt care less about the 200 tbh! im 22 and loving my 197 i bought with my own money! why would i be bothered about a car that they have ruined the front of a bit, given an extra 3bhp and played with the handling a bit??? certainly not gonna ruin my journeys!

I cant believe i didnt know about this either, i work at Millbrook atleast once-twice every week. must have kept that one extra quiet! id take on the RS on the Hill route anyday in my 197...... know it like the back of my hand!!!

Have I mentioned before how much i like the RS or posted any pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/albroon/sets/72157618499126563/

I actually really like the 200; not 100% on the looks but considering how good the 197 / R27 was (is) then this new one must be a belter.

You know the Clio 200 laps Bedford West in 1min 32seconds...the Focus is only 1.2 seconds faster with a time of 1min 30.8seconds...that's not a HUGEEEEE difference. Certainly small enough that the lap times would very much be down to the drivers skill rather than one car being significantly faster than the other. Pretty much what was shown in the video in the original post.

44.

But why should the 200 be aimed at the people with a 197? They didnt make it so you would upgrade to it. They have managed to get the word out of the 200 to impress people without them, or to some of you try and depress people

haha i fully agree, i think its just someone who wants to tell the world he has a 197 at 22 which he paid for himself and that it will keep up with a 197!!!!

Totally pointless comment.
