Sold my rs bout a week ago now,and ive currently got a 1.816v mondeo and i just cant beleive how slow it is compared to the rs, 0-60 in about 5 minutes i was hoping to keep this car for a year but cant really take much more of getting shafted by 1.1 saxo racers
its true what my mate said,once youve had a turbo car you will most definately always have a turbo car

I went to look at an RS2k a mate has the other day.

I am very interested in having another car etc and so went for a drive.

GUTLESS is a word to good to describe its performance.

But twas a nice car none the less

 

I got one as my daily drive and yea, they fucking appaling

Only fun thing is if you REALLY abuse them you can get some scary lift off oversteer moments, but you really have to drive the thing like an idiot.

I still nearly entered a field backwards at about 60mph by deliberatley provoking oversteer on a wet cowshit covered road near brunters on the way there yesterday, and nearly slammed into the back of a stationary car on the way home too

Slow cars are more dangerous than fast cars IMO as you cane the tits off the slow ones to make em fun and nearly crash em, wheras fast cars can be fun without needing to redline everywhere cornering almost on the rims

PS- I saw 120mph on the clock on the brunters main straight in it

Seen 135 on a very long, very downhill part of the M5 too

 

going from 220bhp to 100bhp is quite a drop,i dont think anything im going to get that is newer is going to be as fun to drive as my old rs,these so called hot hatches today are more like luke warm hatches mind you though went out with the old man yesterday to test drive an m3,and that took my breath away for a naturally aspirated car,its got instant power as soon as you put your foot down.I think thats next on my list, but for now im going to have to lean back in the mondy and smoke a pipe
