PassionFord Post Whore!!
I got a copy of the media pack here on my desk.
Our motoring reporter got to thrash it round Bedford just after release for his review.
Got about 30 - 40 laps in.

Sure the focus has a quicker 0-60(according to your sig) and the 1/4 in 14.1@101mph according to evo mag so what time is your car doing? I think this focus and the RS focus would leave your sierra on track.

Thats what it was tested at, I can dig out the evo mag, they had it up against the golf gti turbo and it was quite a bit quicker than that to 100mph.

Will do so in about half hour or so, im on the phone at the moment sorting out buying a focus rs lol.. I drove the ST and RS back to back yesterday and the RS feels quicker but the st is faster in my opinion. Not by a lot though. I obviously can comment on johnny b`s sierra`s speed though.

Lets look at it this way. Focus st is much heaver then my car, but the same power I tell you my car feels quicker. I drove the RS and its much more fun than a ST.
but once you have more boost in the ST it will be a right weapon

Yeah but feeling quicker and being quicker arent the same thing. When I drove the RS it felt quicker cause there was more of a kick from the turbo.

Still think a 24v will be faster in a years time? there;'s a bloke who works for their testing bods who's supposedly been there and done that during testing who posted about it when the st first came out a few mnths back
and although it's undoubtly a decent car, it's going to be very much the mass produced motor likt the golfs and audi and civics quick versions
the rs was built to do the job, the st is built to sell the numbers
