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.

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.

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

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
