Default 2005 STI vs 2016 Focus RS


Had some fun on track with a friend of mine on his Focus RS, in the main straight I was letting my brakes cool down as you can see.

I could have been a lot faster everywhere but I really didn't want to brake anything, I ended up with no brakes anyways after just some laps.

The traction of the Subaru is amazing, better than in these brand new cars, including Golf Rs and RS3 which I had in the past.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by "left hooker us the car"

Yea, I need to find some good pads for fast road driving and track, I'm using stock ones atm and they were cooked after a couple of "fast" laps, they are not enough even for the road. But I don't want nothing too extreme because I use the STI every weekend for everything.

steering wheel on the left , the box in my maloo will far exceed 700 plus bhp but how long will it last at 700 bhp plus how much for a rebuild , that’s more my point , in my book drive ability of a car far exceeds bhp levels

yes I'm Portuguese, that's why the steering is on the left side, our spec is exactly the same as the UK cars though.
