Maybe, but it wasn't faster (I doubt it anyway, not saying its slow, just not quite as fast as the AG car)
it deffo aint slow as at the ford shootout last year it did a 9.7 or 9.8 quarter mile time ,which for a track setup car is impresive

I think Martins would have beaten it top end though. Totally different builds, is the Focus road legal?

thanks steven
It's like comparing apples to oranges.

AG's car is a super lightweight custom built space frame car with carbon panels and engine/trans shifted well back to improve weight distribution.

Martins is a well built, steel bodied road legal saloon with engine/trans etc in their original locations.

There is simply no comparison.

Ye I think he did, think the only target he had was to do 200 in it (when it was on the cover of Redline), and he achieved it.

Can't believe you're even asking the question.

Andrew Gallagher built the focus in he's own workshop and has achieved what he has with it. Be it 9 second quarter miles. Great lap times at knockhill and other tracks.

Then Porsche. A massive company with millions of Ł's for testing the best technicians around the world etc.

Even if the Porsche is quicker around knockhill than Andrews car. Who cares. Andrew built that car with no testing. No designers just him self.

As for time attack. I love it. Yes I would love to race against other cars but I chose time attack because my 'road' car evolved from trackdays and I didn't want to seey
Pride and joy get hit here and their when somebody is trying to find a passing opportunity and use my car as a barrier.

Everybody has their opinions. :0)
