so what should it be?? 350?
-
yep. id be a bit disapointed if id just spent 35k on one for a normal rs with a map and matt black wrap! :laugh:
-
how many miles on the car as once the engine is settled in it would make more but if it is run in then i would not be happy at all :fighting:
-
true mat.
and they only take 1 minute 55 to build too!...
:laugh:
-
now that black wrap looks good i think
-
linkey no workey at workey!!
What did it make?
-
326 :happy2:
-
326 :happy2:
oof! Not quite the 350 claimed then. I hear they have similar issues with the stock RS - most being about 280.
-
Interesting torque curve too!
-
Oh Dear :grin:
Mind you I've just read the Redline supplement and there were 2 Focus RS MKII's, one with 425bhp and the other 400bhp. The 425bhp one only managed 13.45 at 106mph :laugh: and the 400bhp one made 13.3 at 109mph :P

and prooves power is useless without traction :P
Runs for cover :signLOL:

must have been running NOS :grin:

Wait until August 6th..... :evilgrin:

Parachutte does come as standard so i hear :wink:

£35k and you dont even get proper paint :grin:
Give it 5 years and those special editions will all have that wrap removed if it hasnt removed itself :stupid:
-
hmm not sure what to make of that. reading evo mag this month they have it compared to the impreza cosworth and the perfomance stats weren't to far off of it, and it was infact a bit better in the in gear segments.
it is just a remapped car though, for a lot of extra cash :laugh:
-
Usual FORD problem of trouble gaining power from their agriculture engines!! :P
-
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:
-
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.

stnding 1/4 mile
focus RS500 14.1@106.3mph
impreza cosworth 13.0@110.3
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
-
I can pull revos k1 in gear figures later tonight from performance car mag
-
cheers mate, that will be intersting to see.

Very interesting comparison there. :happy2:
In gear the Cupra is much stronger than it's initial 0-whatever are. :evilgrin:
-
hurdy what are yours. surely you have tried these on your performance box. if not get out and try it :laugh:

Going by djhoraces times and owens times they are quite a bit quicker than the revo k1, hurdys acceleration times would be good to see as hes rocking the dsg though.
-
Shows just good the Ko4 is.. Especially low speed spool up..
I did a 11.1 0-100mph @ Stage 2 and John has done a 9.9 0-100mph with Stage 2+ to compare that test. (Both done on the same Racelogic V-Box that Evo use.. :wink:)
-
i wanna se what the k03 stage 2+ manages at the in gear times. should have the edge at the low speeds in the high gears id bet until the turbos on the others get upto speed then its bye bye
-

Never really thought about "in-gear" times with the DSG, but seeing as I have the DSG stage 2 I can give it a go once the thunderstorms up here die down and the private drive dries out :happy2:
I haven't got a pic of the full 0-100 increments just the best pic with the results as it resets itself, but here is one of a 0-100 that took 10.3 seconds. bare in mind this is through the gears, but if you look at the best times of the other car's and compare them to mine you will most likely be looking at the comparative gears.
cos/RS/K1/ED30
0-30 1.8/2.5/2.8/2.4
0-40 2.6/3.6/3.7/3.1
0-50 3.5/4.5/4.7/3.8
0-60 4.6/5.6/5.7/4.8
0-80 7.0/7.5/8.7/7.1
0-100 10.7/12.7/12.5/10.3
20-40 1.5
30-50 1.4
40-60 1.7
50-70 2.0
60-80 2.3
70-90 2.9
80-100 3.2
The above are through the gears and the anomoly of the 20-40 being slower than the 30-50 is most likely due to traction up to around 30mph.

Hmmmm not keen on the RS!! Bit of a "chav asbo" car :signLOL:
-
I've just had a thought.. Was this RS500 run on JKM's rollers? :signLOL:

^^ glad thats accurate then ben :wink: :laugh:
