And was this the old rs focus or new rs?

Guessing the new one as you mention the 25K price tag, it cleary wasnt a 400bhp twin turbo lol

More like standard form, being 300ish in which case i can beleive that a td04 starlet could beat it due to being so much lightr

The 2.5L turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine generates 300hp (224kW) at 6,500rpm and 325lb-ft of torque (440Nm)between 2,300 and 4,500rpm. Acceleration from a stop to 100km/h (62mph) takes just 5.9 seconds and the car carries on to a top speed of 263km/h (164mph). Pricing in Europe will reportedly be set at â?¬39,000 ($51,644). Despite the rapid performance, it's fairly efficient, rated at 33.6mpg US (7.0L/100km) extra-urban and 17.5mpg (13.4L/100km) in town for a combined average of 25mpg (9.4L/100km), which translates to an average CO2 emissions of 225g/km. Both are due in part to the relatively low 3,227lb (1,467kg) curb weight.

Agree my mate had the old focus rs he's got the new one now and it was running 300bhp but it was a diffrent 300bhp to the new rs the old rs was off its tits it won every big boy car around my way FACT...The torque on the new rs is unreal though so im not pulling it down that much all it needs is more boost and i can see the new rs been a right animal!!!

I can remember racing one at trax once, was a mental piece of kit lol, we had our own little race going. They're bonkers for a car. As for the new one, yeah they're nice cars but it#ll forever remain a tame car compared to what it could be.

i disagree the new RS's are a hell of a lot quicker than the old RS's i had a quick head to head against an old RS running about 250bhp (fairly standard) when my black GT was running about 170bhpish and comfpratably past him. he's running a lot more than that now though so im guessing its a weapon lol

was very supriised at this.

none of us belived a starlet td04 could beat rs

the man in the RS was pretty young and he was shocked because all he kept saying is i doubt he will beat and yeah look at it Blah blah think he had abit of intergestion on eating has macdonalds in a record time of 2 minutes.

Goood old starlets do us well!!

They might be a lot quicker outright, but the old rs was so much more fun! The track day I went on with my corsa, I never had so much fun with another car lol, porsches, lambos etc didnt touch us going round lol. Much more of a drivers car lol. Infact, i'm gonna look at buying one lol, I miss boost!
