This time of year though its an animal. Absolute fucking animal.
Peaks at about 1.2/1.4bar then holds a steady 1 bar and pulls... and pulls and pulls...
I think there's is up for sale actually. Dunno how much or anything. Think they are doing a PX on a ST220

the RS all day long the st is a nice car dont get me wrong a friend as one ( st3 ) engine sounds :cool ive driven it & it is fast but its not as raw as the focus RS . & its a no badge car the 2 small letters ST dont mean a thing. next best thing to a real RS i think.
