Seeing a load of comments saying the Ford shouldn’t have been allowed to use the custom traction control but why? That’s all part of a good build making sure you can get that massive power down. Not sure why he should have to turn it off and therefore make his car worse just because the VXR has been left with standard traction control 🤷‍♂️ respect to both guys though, both cars are mad

Exactly, not using the traction would make it kinda completely pointless, even if only one car has it, use it!, if the other car doesn't have it, that's because it doesn't need it.

@@mikemorris4548 I disagree with that last bit. The other car definitely needed it , it just doesn’t have it . You can’t put 500+ bhp through the front wheels and expect the standard traction control to cope. Hence why the better build is the Ford . They took that into consideration

I'm a Vauxhall fanatic through and through but the RS was something else and respect to him and the way it handled the power. Also a big thumbs up to Vinnie and the concern he showed when Reece had issues. Would of loved to have seen the vxr win more than the RS but I kind of guessed being tied for power and the spec you read off about the RS I knew the vxr would be in for a hard time. Nice watch though and well done guys.

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

The Focus RS always was twice the car the VXR was, obviously the Astra was only to rival the Focus ST but when it’s running 500+ I guess it wasn’t totally out of the question of having a pop at that monster Reece has! Quality video as always but this one closer to my heart owning a Rabbid tuned VXR myself haha!

Great work from both the guys getting their vehicles to that level of power, and I'm sure they're a blast to drive, but they just don't seem usable from standstill due to traction issues. Having owned an EO ST in the past, you just can't compare the audio track between them. Would have a 5 pot any day for the character.

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.

Why shouldn’t he be allowed to use it? All part of the build making sure you can get that massive power down. Why should he have to turn his off to make his car worse because the VXR has been left standard in regards to control 🤷‍♂️

What a fantastic race between those 2 big power hot hatches! It would be interesting to see how a ST vs VXR around 400bhp would fair with 0-60/1/4 mile times against the times these have set. Both sound epic but the 5 pot wins every single day 🙇🏼‍♂️
