New Focus STs ARE fast.
Modded RSTs etc could beat them, as thats the point of modded motors, but they properly quick for standard cars.
Don't get me wrong, i expected to get wasted by it
The guy was trying 110% as well. Maybe he just has a crap one? I don't know. My mate is taking delivery on an ST 3 shortly, so we'll have to see how his goes.
Having had a go at both ST and RS foci, i can say the RS is noticably quicker than the ST.
WTF
How you know he was giving it 110%, could you see his throttle position and rev counter?
Trust me, youd get destroyed by one.
And theres barely any performance differences in a straight line thru the gears between an ST and RS, though the ST has big performance right from 1500rpm, but that dont matter when racing hard.
