I love how this guy assumes that every car that's on the ring is being tested 100% flat out.

watch the video from 2 minutes in the focus literaly pulls over....

cossiebags

the megane had standard suspention and tyres read the comments and i didnt say the rs is not the best 'hyper- hatch' in the world. but i dont look like it so far

It's Czech Mate

It only because his brother and dad take it in turns to hammer his ring flat out every night.....he doesnt know of any other way

It's Czech Mate

to be honest unless you graft some fibreglass bumpers to your face and spray yourself bright green you wont ever look like it. I'd give up now

It's Czech Mate

And it's standard tyres are road legal slicks you fucking mong, how many times do you have to be told!!!!!

cossiebags

i didnt say it wasent the best 'hyper- hatch' in the world. but it didnt look good and the reason he pulled over is to let the megane through because it was faster

cossiebags

comming from a pedo who drives a mondeo hahah what a mug so why dont ford use them tyres then

cossiebags

so your telling me he was cruzing then you nob

Are you unable to speak without insulting people? I think that's called 'Tourettes'.

I am not stupid enough to assume what either car was doing in that video. I don't remember reading the text "Head 2 head race between Focus RS and Megane".

I thought it was quite clear that it was just two cars on the ring, doing their own thing, whatever that may be, and in traffic. But then I suppose that wasn't clear to some people?

It can't be. That engine breaks at 160hp never mind 225. I'd still buy one though but I'd be buying it with no intention of having friends.

God there is some retards that join this forum.

These type of people are a good reason why abortion should remain legal.

Lets face it, Its hardly likely the 2 cars were racing each other. They may have had a little play now and then but its more probable that they were both just being tested. Unless its in a controlled enviroment with all things equal its not really a race is it?

A lorry overtook me the other day...........

Anyway, which colour do people prefer? I know Plato on 5th gear didn't like the green much but you certainly know what it is when you see it. Its Ł700 more though which is a bit cheeky.

to bring this thread out of the dumps i love how pretty much every single one of your posts are FAIL!!! the R26.R has standard Mich PS2's as standard spec with R888's as an option

also the car in that vid is a R26 not an R26.R

FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody cases anymore mate.

It's Czech Mate

EVERY test of the R26R I have seen is on the option tyre, as is the ringtime etc etc

At the end of the day, the R26R is a quick car, but is shit as a 'car'. Out of the 250 allocated to the UK there are still 85 unsold and they've been here over 12 months

How many Focus are unsold?

chris1049

Well I've got my RS now and I think its great. I don't really get why people are comparing it with the Renault as they are so different. The Renault is light and nippy with no back seat and plastic windows. The Focus has a boot, back seats, air con, Sony 6CD, sat nav and goes like the clappers. Its also great round town just pottering around. It really is a complete package, a real usable car that also handles like its on rails and will see most others off hence it being rather in demand and pretty much adored wherever it goes.


No contest really. Track times mean very little in the real world, you have to live with the thing afterall.

What is it better at? A 'horse'?

The R26R has a boot.... infact its got a bigger boot than all the other megans as the cargo net allows you to cram more in, its got no parcelshelf and there is all the space between the scaffolding.... its a perfectly useable every day car.

Old argument, which is never going to be treated fairly on a FORD forum....

JAmes.

chris1049

I don't get why one has to be better than the other. Nothing to do with being fair, they both have merits and people choose with their wallets. If I'd have wanted the Renault I'd have bought one, I didn't like the old Focus but really liked the RS so that was the car for me.

I've got a VXR Nurburgring and I think its a cracking car, totally nuts. Doesn't matter what forum your on, lots of good cars out there.

Fuck off tard

It's Czech Mate

if it's so brilliant why cant they sell them?

It's a great weekend toy, but theres a lot better toys for the cash and as an everyday car it's not practical. Fact bourne out by the quantity thay cant sell!

Nothing to do with being a Ford Forum

hallett

your wrong again, 230 were meant to make there way over to the U.K but only 159 were sold, they were built to order so none came over non sold unless the car was built and then the order was cancelled

also yes most of the reviews have had the option tyre but i didn't say they didn't so that point was pretty pointless

and yes not focuses are unsold but i suspect the focus has a much bigger market than the .R and it is a bl00dy good car, although to commen for my liking

Daniel

EDIT: to put the ringtime to bed, the focus was tested by a german magazine round the ring and the best they could do was a 8:26 they then tested it with R888's and the best they could do was 8:25, the 888's dont make much difference because the focus is to full of lard so the tyres were shot pretty quick as well
