Coming home of night shift and above Ford tried it on dont know what he was thinking about, cant say it was even a good fight. obviously well within speed limit though !

 

ST170 they could'nt pull the skin off a rice puddin

I think the owners of these cars think they have some form of powerfull car. They only go 8mph quicker than the normal one

 

they are slower 0-60 than a mk2 xr2. i heard its due to the power sapping traction control.RS may be a little more of a challenge but me thinks it will still be a walk over

 

They do have fantastic levels of grip though. Think I will stick with my RenaultSport 172 though

 

Here we go again,
Don't you lot learn anything.

I can't wait for the reply from the Ford lads.

 

 

I am think of getting one of these to replace my zetec and I am quite impressed with them and they handle and go well. How can the TC sap power surely it only comes on when traction is lost . Sure its not a quick as my RA but 99% of scoobs arent either and most seem to be around the 320-350bhp mark LOL .

not sure exactly what makes them so slow, like i said only heard it was due to the TC. its definatly not the best hot hatch out there. seat leon cupra r is just as well specked and is quicker(210 bhp).civic type r handles better is quicker but spec is ****e.clio 172 probably best bet at the moment!!!!!!!

just my opinion so dont bite my head off

 

Thinking of getting one of these to replace the electric motor on my garage door !!


LOL

Clio is too small and AFAIK they only do them is 3 door variety. Isnt the CTR a 3 door as well as is the FRS, need 5 doors boys as this is my practical car . Never really like look of the Leon but that just down to preference. I have the RA for blowing EVOs, TTs and Cossies away so I need a quick, quiet mile muncher.

 

That 170 is a complete waste of time LOL! Just buy the normal 2.0 Zetec and stick some diff alloys on it and pocket the change. Had a bloke in one trying like an ar$e and keep up round a dual peppered with roundabouts, being egged on by his mate in the car, he had no chance.

BTW - I was driving a 205 1.9GTi. LMAO!
