Darth you eloquent chappy. It would seem that as you seem to have trouble with big words that you have been unable to read that in every head to head test carried the RS has beaten the scoob WRX and the Scoob STi both round a track and as a performance car. The only exception to this was clarkson on top gear once again the RS destroyed the WRX on a circuit but Clarkson didn't like the fact that the RS suffered from torque steer. Maybe read what was written about his feeble attempts at driving the car In Autocar and then make what you want of Clarkson's review. Whatever it Spanks scoob's and that is a proven fact
Funny frow what I read wasn't the scoob STi marked down in a recent test as it suffered from torque steer or was my copy of the magazine different to the scoob owners one.

LOL Merkin maybe you should send a copy of this off to Autocar magazine, Evo, CAR etc etc as they have all obviously got it wrong or maybe the scoob owners buy a scooby owners what you want to hear special edition of each mag.
I wonder what car beats the WRX on the driven show aired on the 8th of December or maybe Plato is wrong too. Maybe Car got their lap times wrong when the RS blitzed the STi in their recent test of performance cars placing the RS above the STi as a performance vehicle. Have you read the review of the RS given in the VW mag when compared to the new Golf R32. LOL

Merkin you have ordered a Focus RS havent you dont be shy. LOL.
I am hopefully getting a full one hour test drive at Gaydon on the track or whatever they have there. Ford have arranged a couple of weekends for people who have put down deposits to book an hour and put the car through its paces.

I think the RS beat the STi in the Car magazine test because the STi had to have several engine rebuilds on its way round the circuit.
Merkin glad to hear your Pubic Wig business is going so well You closet RS lover you did you upgrade from a WRX to a two litre Mondeo then ?
Rich You cant gauge everything from racing an RS focus and a Scoob round your living room on your scalextric set.

actually co55ie, I have a porsche that would rip your dustbin to pieces around a track, on account of the fact it has the ability to go round corners! (a novelty for you i'm sure)

Come on Sti man I know it would only be fair to give your STi a bit of an advantage over the RS to even things up a bit but its hardly fair to ask that the RS has to pull away in top gear is it.
Rich do you have the night stages scalextric setup? I find the scoob doen't handle to well on the chicane and keeps flying off breaking things in my living room. Its quite good fun though as I got the optional sound effects box hooked up at the moment
Merkin I am not a registered charity thanks for the offer but on this occasion I will have to defer
