Met you twice now with the same outcome. Virtually nothing in it!! Scoob has the advantage top end, but through the gears.....very impressed.

Now......tell me what you have done to it to make it keep up with a 247bhp scoob????? If they are out of the box that quick I dont want to meet an RS!!!

Nice smile and wave of acknowledgement though.

There is no way that is out of the box if it's staying with your m8

Focus ST170 Standard Specification

170PS @ 7000 RPM
195Nm of torque from 2500 RPM
0-60mph in 7.9 seconds (Lot slower than scoob )
134mph Top Speed

Can't stand the Focus myself, looks like the computer had a nasty virus when it produced that car.

I would'nt waste my Optimax on these cars anyway

Look at the new shots of the development focus cossie in the new Evo. With an even better chassis and 4wd and circa 300bhp, I can feel myself being called to the darkside.

On the positive side, by the time it is released, it wont touch my car with what I have planned...

A Focus ST170 did a 14.7sec 1/4 Mile up here a couple of weeks ago and it was totally standard...

That is fast for any FWD car!!

Cheers,
