Jamie the video was great, but I can't help but feel the battles weren't even tbh. The Focus shouldn't have been allowed to use traction control to keep it even, but even then the turbo is so big on that Astra that it takes a hell of a long time to spool up, you can see that between the gear changes, so the Focus may have ran away with it anyway. Both lads did well though, Vinnie seems like a top man you can see that as soon as he saw the Focus driver stop.

Love the RS, though I can't help but think it probably has twice the money put into it, compared to the VXR.

Why would you think that? It’s the same as the vxr forged,bigger turbo and supporting mods only difference is it’s been linered which costs less than 800 quid and that includes genuine Ford parts like gaskets and that which you’d need anyway for a rebuild

Big respect to the lads for putting alot of money into these cars, but for me I would rather buy something I can lay all the power down
@DjNikGnashers2 жыл бұрын
One part of me agrees, because for that amount of power, if these cars were AWD the 0-60 would be sub 4 seconds, so it just shows what a waste of power not being able to get any traction is. Another part of me thinks, loss of traction can be brilliant fun (in a RWD car not FWD though), as I love drifting my M140i around roundabouts etc, although that is completely different obviously to FWD.

@@DjNikGnashers I think it all depends what you want from the car front and rear wheel drive cars hit a limit of how much power you can put through the wheels, anything beyond that is wasted money. No doubt yours is more fun but that's modifying for you were all different guess that's where the thrill is each car is different from one to the next

@@fomo24..7 Thumbs up Guy, good post and I agree. Mine is running 455bhp / 634nm, and I haven't even got round to fitting a limited slip diff yet, so it's just comical really, and I waste most of the power. It is a LOT more fun wasting power through the rear wheels though, than the front !!

I think when I put real power adders on my SVT Focus, I'm gonna shoot for 225whp and no more. It has 170hp, but it could use just a little more. I'd like to be around the 6.5 0-60 range, it's at about 7 right now. For me a FWD car is all about handling and if you lose grip in the bends you'll plow off the outside of the corner. I've got some suspension and reliability mods, excited to go down the rabbit hole even more. Great race from these gents, respect to Vinny for caring about his competitor

@Mac_F872 жыл бұрын
The whole reason the 5 cylinder came about was the fact they can produce similar torque to a V6 with a fuel economy similar to a 4 cylinder. It’s torque that gets you going, power helps get a higher top speed. Power to weight is meaningless if you can’t put it down to the ground efficiently so the fact the RS has Syvecs as the VXR was never going to compete.
