Now this thread is really heating up Have you had a play with an RS yet CupraMax?

 

CE,

Does the article state what type of tyres the car was using? For a lot of the Ring tests they use R-tyres which can have a reasonable impact (and Tav's times were set on road tyres). Also, Tav's car in it's new state, would probably be close, if not beat that time (hypothetically ). How much have that lot cost you John?

Ta,

Matt

 

If I was starting from a clean sheet? About 3k. So, all in, including the car about £17k

I still want to try the Focus, as I actually like them and heretic that I am, I'd have one in preference to a Scoob or any of the FWD hatches (excluding of course my lovely ickle Skoda).

I think it would be a very close run thing.

Weren't there 2 Foci in CCC, the GGR one and the Power engineering one. Think the PE one had more power, wasn't a RS and ran NoS. I'll jsut go and see if I've got the mag in the car.

 

Doesn't say owt about tyres, though from the gist of the article I would think it was running standard michelin pilot sports, the article was "drive an RS and a lambo across europe in a week" or somthing to that effect, they did 5k miles and the lambo was sha66ed by the end of it

The power engineering car made the GGR RS look a bit slow IIRC, the GGR car couldn't even better the times that evo got on a standard car, most of their mods seem a bit rushed, trying to cash in IMO.

I've been waiting to run into one for a play and saw one on the way home last night but he didn't want to play. Not really fair considering what mines pushing out eh

 

I know but it would funny your's has the 6 speed box too so it should pull really well.

Revo SPS3 tuned Leon Cupra R. Rolling road confirmed @ Stealth Racing 270hp & 280lb/ft, and thats only on low boost

 

Nice

Checked that article, the GGR Focus RS had a reworked head, new tubular exhaust manifold, revised bigger bore downpipe with freer flowing cat, new airbox/filter, and Bluefin remap.

 

I'd have had a play Ok I'd have lost, but it would still have been fun
