Focus RS500 dyno results

<< < (5/7) > >>

Sunglasses Ron:
Just this min had a go in a UG RS with black rims (boy did it look good) and was pretty impressed to be honest. Seem to lack a bit of top end, but mid range was very strong and boy did it stick to the road (cocked it's rear wheel a couple of times too  :wink:).

Couldn't have one as a full time motor though (especially for work). Bit to in your face. But I was still pretty impressed..  :happy2:

vRS Carl:
They sound nice at full chat though  :smiley:

good man.  most people who slate them haven't driven them and its badge snobbery.  they arent to everyones taste, but there is no denying they are good.

as you can see the impreza gets hammered at the in gear times in low rpm.  exactly the same as my mates WR1 impreza which is dead up until about 3500rpm with turbo lag.

Considering the lap time between the two cars and the 50hp deficit and FWD the focus RS500 is only 1 second slower on the lap

any stage 2 k04 guys have any of their own measured in gear times to compare to these.

@ vRS carl  how does yours compare with these.  i cant remember your in gear times

Poverty:
I can pull revos k1 in gear figures later tonight from performance car mag

Janner_Sy:
cheers mate, that will be intersting to see.
