Really impressed with performance.

Was it orange? I doubt it was. Orange ones are faster than mk2s so it would deffo be faster than a mk3.

 

you got it wrong, according to some members on this site mk2 8v are faster than orange ones

To be honest, I've got stickers in one of the windows, so that probably helped.

I had a race with a focus st driver and one hands down. It was an egg and spoon race.

I reckon the majority of our mk3's would beat a Focus ST tbh....







....beat it to the rusty haven in the sky that is!

in other words - dont bother to waste your fuel unless you are rocking either a charged VR or a 20vt  lump under the hood

Power to weight puts it all in favour of the ST:

Mk3 16v = 130bhp/tonne

ST = 168bhp/tonne

That combined with the extra 103 torques of the ST, doesn't look like any competition tbh.....

im very fond of Fords, and the ST is a good all rounder, they are real good once mapped

Put down the PS3.
