Thats funny !!!!
Performance is relative to what you have driven & you have obviously never been in a fast car. Think your head may fall off in a fast one .

so is 400 bhp not capable of being fast?
not everybody has experience 700+bhp cars,you ever been in a 400 bhp mk2 frs?

i was sitting in a green mk2 yesterday,im half looking for 1 just now but if i go for green it will definately be 1 with half leather,the green paint and garish interior is too much,green rear headrests are o.t.t!

Oh Rod, who is in heaven not quite yet,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Cossie come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is at Brunters.
Give us this day our daily belittlement.
And forgive us our opinions,
as we forgive those who drive RST's.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from Japs cars.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

I don't come on here that often but the above Hymn really did crack me up!! After reading hundred of threads on this site it does seem that rod only seems to acknowledge cars with like over 600 bhp as being fast?? It just makes me laugh to think that he comments on this to almost say 'you think that measly 400bhp car is fast, I laugh in your face at the stupidity of the idea!!'
Not everybody is lucky enough to own or have even been in a car as quick as yours but you can't honestly say that's not quick!? Is it just me thinking this!?

I sent my missus out on her first ever track day in my mates Focus RS with the SCC 400 conversion, she always thought her diesel Clio was quite quick enough but came back after a couple of laps with the silliest grin I've seen. 400bhp in that car is fookin quick, no question

You've all got it wrong.

Rod isn't blowing his own horn again and again and again, he is merely pointing out these facts because he has gained a vast ammount of knowledge on the subject of power and speed.

Noblesse Oblige I guess.

I bet 400hp in a Mk2 FRS is a real hoot.

Rod, I really wish you would change your attitude... but it will never happen. Cue the MADetts bumming Rod in this thread no doubt

Rod thinks 400 bhp Focus is not that fast? Fair enough by comparison. But Rod needs a ride in MO's RST to experience real speed!
