Really? if its my moms st3 your refering to then i dont remember your saff destroying it exactly
quicker yes but destroyed i think not 
and the st3 is totally standard.However when i drove kennys st3 the other day (re-mapped) i recon a 4x4 stg3 saff would have a pretty hard time tbh.

have you seen the actual times for these supposed tuned focus STs??
a (proper) stage 3 cossie will be quicker mate IMO until you get to corners..
ie. t3 holding more than 22 psi. and actually set up. not just an off the shelf chip.

I just had to wait for you to get out the way so i could get back in after overtaking a car. I have driven Kennys and its quick
At that time your car was around 330 bhp ish so take into account all the 4x4 transmission drag ect against a focus with 260 / 270 bhp with only fwd and 6 speed g/box and better aerodynamics ect ect it has to be a close thing.
