Performance wise, rememeber the 500bhp E60 M5 v F430 test? A Gorilla driving the M5 could keep up in a straight line with the Ferrari, however round a track the M5 was history.

yeah,but the start of the topic was about a focus rs sticking to the bumper of a ferrari ON A DUEL CARRIAGE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and people were saying that the ferrari would have spanked it,then when people are losing an arguement,turn the conversation into " ferraris are better on the track!!!!"
AND I DONT DISSAGREE WITH THE COMMENT AT ALL!!!!!!!! BUT a duel carriage way,or any public road isnt a track,and on the roads/motorways or whatever is ALL ABOUT STRAIGHT LINE PERFORMANE,and as ive stated,ferraris dont cut the mustard ina straight line!!!!

James, interesting
The E46, on a track with some BIG straights laps 8% quicker, with 120 hp more. Thats not a lot of difference really is it? The E36 Evo is one of my all time fav cars

but in the original comment regarding the focus rs,they werent WEAVING in and out of the traffic?????????
and so what are you saying,if you have a tear up down a duel carriage way,get spanked fair and square...........you could still pull up and say "you won,but mines still faster than yours!!!!!!" lol
i understand,and fully agree with th driving like cu*t comment,but on a long duel carriage way straight,with nothing in front either of you,ad you both go for it......................WILL PROOVE THE FASTER CAR!!!!!!!!!!
its sore losers that would come out with "YEAH but but but i would spank you on the track!!!"
BUT THATS THE TRACK,NOT STRAGHT LINE!!!!!! that is a completely different subject alltogether!!!!!!

Your logic is almost as good as "my dads harder than your dad". Now run along little boy, isnt it past your bedtime?

just spent a while looking at the thread. the black fez rst, love it . my black s2 has the same rims, also love the standard xr2.I
ts all about luck of the draw when having a burn. i wasnt far off a lotus elise in my ragged out 2 litre mondeo but at the end of the day its about having a bit of fun, isnt that what driving is about? Doesnt help that alot of people are biased against ferrari, including me. Id have any new aston or noble or tvr over a ferrari partially cos of the image. I still repect them tho, and what an awesome noise. if ones behind me i pull over and wind the window down. be tempted to have a play in the rs just to see how badly id get spanked, but be very scared about crashing into a decent car. afterall rs is worth 2k max and mondeo 5p with a full tank of petrol.

at the end of the day,people are arguing because we've got split opinions.
THING IS,how can people comment IF THEYVE NEVER RACED A FERRARI IN THEIR FORD???????????
you are always gonna get people say "but he probably vcant drive etc etc,but would never say "my car does a 13.0 sec qtr,BUT I I DID A PERFECT RUN ID GET IN THE 10's !!!!!!"would you???
ive said all ive got to say.........i know what i saw when i raced the ferrari,AND HE WAS GUNNING IT!!!! hitting the limiter etc and COULD NOT SHAKE ME!!!!!
I BELIEVE THE FOCUS RS STORY!!!!
END OF!

im pretty much certain that simons evo 9 would go round any track faster then a ferrari in the smae price bracket.
if had £300k in my pocket id have the evo for track, and the ferrari for the road.
and yes i did get the bit about simon owning a ferrari - but if its so fast why doesnt he just simply use that on track all the time
