At 16 seconds the GTR was definately loosing it.

Just don't feel either car to be honest, GTR is plain ugly, too ugly to overcome for me personally. The Focus...... I just don't know, think it is too tacky.

I am sure they are both great fun though.

It just goes to show that facts and figures, 1/4 mile times etc mean nothing in the 'real world'. Its how it performs on the road that matters for 99& of people. Well done focus! In my opinion 1/4 mile times, 0-60, bhp figures are all for pub talk and bragging rights. Its how it perfroms/reacts on the road that matters and this video is a prime example of that.

The new focus is rs pretty but it´s not a evo or gtr killer in stock form it weights to much.

Is it just me that isnt overly keen on the new focus rs? Fair does it might perform wonderfully but they just look a bit chavy and the wheels are wank imo.

Wouldnt mind a blast in 1 though to see what they perform like caue they seem to get good reviews

I think if you got a ride out in one you might change your mind. I like the look of them.
