Guigsy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 iir it would be close up to 70 ish i can imagine i think the 0-60 is very similar... after that... bye bye Only one way to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallikev Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah thats pretty much what i said, to 70 or 80 it would be close and after that would be no problem, oh and apparently my supra tops out at 145 according to him, cos the gear ratio's dont allow it to go any faster, my response was that that if you remove the speed limiter its good for 180-190 ish but he knows best apparently. Ahh well it passed an hour or 2 in the pub and amused me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Do you mean Focus ST (like the title), or Focus RS (like your post)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Do you mean Focus ST (like the title), or Focus RS (like your post)? if its a focus RS I destroyed one at 1bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 When you say hypothetically i assume you mean the supra is being driven by a ten year old!! i smell bull shi#'t, focus RS is about a second slower to 60. look at the power difference!! He is Front wheel drive so will have traction problems off the line. Its been proven that a TT is at least good for 160 and im sure alot more. I have been present on private test tracks when the TT has done 165 indicated and still pulling!! Slap him for me......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 do a search for quater mile times between the two.......that'll show u how they compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I thought the focus only made about 180bhp? Have I got that totally wrong? I wouldn't even expect it to be close to a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallikev Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sorry guys i mean focus ST, 5 cylinder volvo engine thingy, 220bhp i think. I'm not one for driving like a twat but like i say hypothetically speaking he was on his high horse and it annoyed me a bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/id/?id=99341 check this out. your TT will get to 100mph at least 3 seconds before his focus RS. 60mps at least a second before his. and do the quater mile about 1.5 seconds quicker and at about 10mph faster.

Matt H Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Focus ST?!! get real, were not even talking RS here which a supra would still waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallikev Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Haha dont worry guys i'll give him a slap for you all later, he did challenge me but i declined saying it was'nt worth the effort or the fuel lol.

chris burford Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sorry guys i mean focus ST, 5 cylinder volvo engine thingy, 220bhp i think. I'm not one for driving like a twat but like i say hypothetically speaking he was on his high horse and it annoyed me a bit lol Order him to stay on water in future, if yours is a uk manual 6sp like your garage suggests just remind him of this = 0-60 =4.9 Top speed 155 e/limited 326bhp 320 torque That should sober him up a bit either that or do it the old fashioned way when your both sober of course and on your own private test track lol.

movistar Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi guys here are the correct figures.. Focus ST 0-60 =6.5secs top speed 150 mph (225bhp) Focus RS 0-60 =6.4secs top speed 144 mph (212bhp) Autocar tested the focus RS when it first come out and got 0-60 times of 5.9sec Tests have actually been carried out by mags to find that the ST is marginally faster around a track than the RS this was due to its fantastic chassis and low end torque. Don't forget an rs or st with a blue fin chip will get around 280 bhp mark...watch out they are quick and get the power down really well! It not all about bhp....

Metallikev Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 He aint got it chipped yet so still running 220 odd bhp, if he had it at 280 it would be a good race, power/weight and all that, yeah i got a uk spec tt 6 speed, slowly goin bpu, just got the de-cats on (made a nice difference), fcd next then boost controller then i'll offer him a race on a track day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 well my NA topped out at 145. and it get to there quite quickly and then stops. so a TT would have no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's a total package, a fwd car with 225bhp and a great big 5cyl engine slung over the front wheels with 160bhp/ton can only do so much against a 210bhp/ton car with a better chassis balance and rwd. I've been on a trackday with an ST and I only saw him when I was lapping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they're not that quick with the bluefin (who trusts superchips figures anyway) and even if they did manage 280bhp they have serious Torque steer issues at 220bhp.

Supradoopa Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Had the opportunity of disgracing a fellow work mate (the tit) in his Focus ST pfffft no match see ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadburys Purple Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 After a bit of searching I believe these figures to be correct- Focus RS 0-60 = 6.5 Focus ST 0-60 = 6.4 SUPRA TT 0-60 = 4.9:p For my own knowledge, I could only find this time quoted for the N/A = 7.5:( Is this true? Surely not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisjames Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 imo, id rather bathe in my own fecal matter than own a ford focus. if the supe was half the speed id still have it over a ford, unless american .ford lost 13 billion dollars last year and still rapidly declining. enough said.

Adzn2k Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i read in a fast ford mag a feature they did on a modded 300bhp RS and 300bhp ST and the RS nailed the ST in every way i'll have to find the mag some where i like the RS i think i looks better that the ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
