My ED30 v RS Focus
Msportman:
I agree it's the OE watered down variety that will always be some way off our expectations from a modded car.
The straightline performance and mid range oomph are some way off my car....the RS will certainly need a map and exhaust to match or better the Ed30.
think what it does say is what good value a used Edition 30 is against the new RS. Even a good stock Ed30 at 15k plus mods at 4k still is 7-8k under the new RS!
The mid range thump is nowhere near the levels of a stage 2 mapped car!!
Hurdy:
Good comparison :happy2:
I don't want an RS, but I wouldn't mind trying one just to see how much it lacks> I know it does lack oomph as I've played against one before. :innocent:

See what your getting at now Ive seen Ed30 for under £15 so to even spend £10k on it it would be some beast and be still cheaper than an RS.

Once again everyone compares their stage 2 ED 30 to standard cars. Surely to have a comparison thats worth reading you need to give the RS a 100 more BHP.
I can fully understand people putting there views and opinion's forward. But you are first comparing it against your own personal choices so straight away there is going to be bias and secondly everyone in the world knows the ED 30 lump lends itself beautifully to a re-map.
My car feels nimble and and much faster than a standard ED 30. but you would all laugh at me if i posted this. :rolleye: :driver:

Totally agree with ya TC. but there will always be these kinda threads/posts. Remapped vs standard is unfair. Remap the FRS and i bet the results are rather different. and remaps are what....£500???
