Had a look at the new st in a motor mag.Looks ok but it has the same power as the last car not even 5 bhp more its out in march and not a sniff of a rs.Will you be ordering one yes or no.

 

No

The st`s price pre-face lift will drop even further now

Cant believe seeing orange 06 plates on piston heads for 14kish

il stick to my litle rs i think

 

NO. Wrong wheel drive

 

Beat you on the back roads son

so youd be wrong wheel drive

 

so a 4x4 Escort cosworth would be slower down the back roads than a FWD focus? .... and I have a T4 RWD saff as well, who cares about backroads?

Seriously though, FWD is just boring IMHO, no challenge in driving it fast

 

Haha not sure mate, but id see your saff and would be on you in the escos

fwd isn`t a issue in the focus at all, would murder my stage 3 2wd saff and 3 door on any twistie...

rwd is certainly more fun thats for sure

 

Not saying the FRS isn't a great car, it is , but IMHO they made a big mistake making it FWD ... none of the advantages of 4x4, none of the fun of RWD

 

LOL only messing mate no bother

Only time its been a issue for fwd, is getting off the line on the quarter mile. shit !

 

A focus st would kill a stage 3 cosworth you got to be pissed mate.Igot a stage 3 escos and had them all the st would not live with it.

 

ehh???? didnt get the end bit ?

 

I took my focus st to ford fair followed by my mate in a 300bhp st escos and he couldnt keep with the st under acceleration

Ive had a play with an st focus on the way to work one morning. To be honest i left it behind. Ive got a stage 2 saff 4x4 ive got a dyno graph from years ago before i owned the car and that reads 300 bhp. So is there no sign of an RS then. Come on ford get your finger out.

 

anyone got a pic of the facelifted ST?
