Could any of you give me some details on the above cars, how quick they are, what they are like to drive/handle, hoe reliable they are...and which you personally would have if you had the choice...taking price totally out of the equation....

I have had a focus rs for 2 years now. I have installed a bluefin and people are always surprised by how fast the thing is. I have had no probs at all in 2 years but now have to sell for first house. Dealer has offerd me 14.5k but might try to sell private, but insurance runs out soon.

How quick are they as standard??

And how much you looking at to get them quicker??

blubod

6.4 to 60 but to get to 60 quicker is hard because I have read a few times that they are limited in 1st and 2nd gear to 175bhp to save the gear box. If you want big power you can get 380bhp for around 3.5k.

Racing Puma you want hun. Focus RS's are ugle IMO, over rated. Go for something different and stand out from the rest.

Now i quite like the racing Puma.. A bit of a rare beast..

Although deffo a womans car, not sure i'd want to be seen in one in daylight!

I quite like the racing puma but..

why, oh why did they not put some power in it

Agressive looks, nice handling, weedy engine

essexrsturbo

FRP is wonderful handling but a bit weedy in terms of power and not the cheapest to run. Give PumaBuild a call for any specifics u want to know. Alan is a top bloke and very friendly...anything they dont know about them aint worth knowing.

Out of the two I'd have a FRS but with Ł10 k in my pocket a nice low mileage FRP would be VERY VERY tempting. Deffo NOT a birds motor in the flesh....or behind the wheel

I was considering gettin on of these instead of my saph, want something more modern...BU ive just got a quote on an esccos BG mistake....i will have on by the end of January next year i reckon


MattRS1600i "Deffo NOT a birds motor in the flesh....or behind the wheel "

WHY are they not a birds car What makes a car a birds car or not a birds car??

TBH i dont think an Racing puma is my type of car but only due to the power, think they are a fooking mintcar, and defo my type of car in terms of looks, coz they stand out from the crowd and are a little different...been offered one for 8.5k and its a minter...

Athough the Racing Puma, is the cheapest car insurance wise decisions decisions

nickyboy

The Puma handles very well but is piss slow in a straight line against comparable cars.

RSKim

Well been out in the coz today, Ive decided I cannot get into a slower car, it would kill me, i defo would not be happy, thinking its esccos time

I was responding to JAMES saying it was a womans car......which implied he had a derogotary opinion of it......i was just responding that it was plenty good enough to be anybodys type of car.

RSKim

It just read as though you were stating it WAS NOT a womens car...but anyways, thats here nor there...


Thanks for your help and advice peeps
