these look sweet as foooook
I saw one for the first time last week in St Ives (white) and it was stunning. Havnt had the oppertunity to have a play in one yet but hopefully I will.

Are they FWD or 4x4 ? power?
Have Cosworth had anything to do with the car?

spoke with a manager at Ford (Sandicliffe) Nottm on Friday and he said an option was to get the Higher Spec performace ST as its as near to a RS ad a lot cheaper.

Anyone got a 'tuned' Wolf ST or the chequerd flag badged ST ?

API330

I have a new rs and i can assure you a tweaked st is no rs they are in completly different league, Its like saying get a non turbo scooby put a big spoiler on the back and a scoop on the front and you now have a sti,

salsa-king

so it's not like saying get a WRX, tune it and its then like an STi?

rabbos

The difference is you wouldn't be able to leave a remapped ST. Hardly a different league

the green profile car looks great!!!

paulwrxboro

people on the RS forums who have had the modded st are all saying the RS is a totally better car ...ive not had a st so cant comment, i also think the st is a great car

someone said the st is a dolphin the RS is a shark

API330

I am not talking about how fast your remapped st is i am talking about handling and getting power down and the feel of the thing . I have driven lots of st's in all types of tune and they are good cars but they are no rs. If you think they are the same then i don't think you could have driven many rs's, How long do you think it will be be before most rs's are running 360 bhp.

who gives a sh*t anyways an RS has road presence where as an ST is an everyday car i see more of them on the roads than i do corsa's

They do look good. The green is the best colour of the 3 in my opinion. Love the black wheels with the green insert.

salsa-king

me thinking the wife could drive the ST as a day to day car, but would like more than 225bhp though for me to get back to scooby performance that i'm missing with the 50bhp (and the 101bhp) Smart cars I'm running at the mo..... oh.. also the 1.6 TDCi Focus Ghia

The white 1 in the first 3 pics is currently running 340bhp he's waitin for some injectors to come from sweeden n get some more ponies out of it.....probs lots will run big bhp cos its a volvo lump there easy 2 tune n get mega bhp out of them....so i reckon we need 2 watch this space

paulwrxboro

done my wheels today

without green wheels

salsa-king

saw an Orange St the other day that had ST340 badge on the back, is that a 340bhp car?


or just a limited edition like the ST500 you can get?

why the hell didnt they make em 4x4????
FFS !

salsa-king

All I thought was they made them with a boot you can get golf clubs in.. unlike the nw STi who's boot is small and shallow. how sad am i? ;p

power omes like this, looking at the above PumaSpeed site, they do a up grade that takes the ST from 70-120 in 10secs... thats the sort of driving you want.. maybe not t 120, but over taking on a motoway is dangerous place if you haven't go pulling power.

before i drove one i would have said the same now i can honestly say it dosent need it ,it would probably feel/drive worse with 4wd
i havent seen a reveiw anywere that says it needs 4wd...everyone cant be wrong

salsa-king

what's it like on a muddy field though... or on a Rally?

paulwrxboro

I dont know, when was the last time you drove across a muddy field or enterd a rally ?

loving the wheels mate

salsa-king

lol, well i was thinking about Harj in the 22b a good few years back when we were at santa Pod (must be about 8-9yrs ago) he went playing in the muddy feild carpark



I still liking the look of the white STs with the 300+ upgrade.
basic ST would be a better driving car for the wife to go to work though
