I think that the rs2.7 guy is just saying not enough people are seriously into dragging their fwd fords cos it's alot easier to get a rwd which will do better times on a smaller investment
Like the vaux guys have said on here there aren't any decent cheap rwd vaux's so you all concentrate on the fwd, which becuase you have focused on them are now running spectacular times
whats the problem?
Chip you never answered the question about my car yesterday (in this therad) is that cos i've got no chance
or cos you missed it?
TA!!

Because you didnt really have any useful info yet to go on, no point making wild guesses.

What top speed was Sunny khalsa's fiesta, it was either 168 or 178mph iirc? I think when you look at a lot of the times the FWD fords put in, its obvious grip is the main factor.
A std RS Focus does a 1/4 in around 14secs with a low 212bhp compared to a seriously modded 300+bhp RST which is managing to shave a second of that time. Do people not bother with a suitable gearbox when building a big power RST?

From what Ive seen, there is a massive culture difference between the RST and VX lads.
The vauxhall lads in the main, just want to go quick as fuck, get round a track as well as possible, and do it all for sensible money.
The ford boys are more interested in mega money chromed up blingy engines that LOOK fast and cars that dont really handle.
Obvioulsy thats pidgeon holing people and as such isnt always correct, there are exceptions in both cases which I can think of, but thats the general trends IMHO
