    Punto GT vs Focus RS

    How would a 170bhp SEB2 GT compare against a standard RS in a straight line

    a) from standstill

    b) once rolling level at say..... 30mph?

    Its just a thought i've had, I've got a mate who keeps talking about the focus like its the best thing since sliced bread, and it would be sooooooo nice to prove a point, perhaps just to stay level....

    reckon its possible? The driver of the RS is pretty good, although I'd like to think I could put myself into that category also

    Discuss.........

    ive raced one and sat with it from rolling start.

    ive seen a GT race one at street racing also and that was from a standing start and they were even..

    thats my experience of them :P

    I reckon the focus would be a more comfortable ride.

    you would think so, but its a proper bumpy ride and the suspension is rock hard, and they have got pretty low profile tyes on. It a car bread for the track.

    handling on them is fantastic but the lsd is a bit iffy on them.

    really?

    so do all sporty cars with sports suspension have harshh / bumpy rides then?

    Top gear slated the BMW 6 series Coupe on Sunday night saying that BMW had gone for the sports setup wiuth low profile and it wrecked the ride

    focus RS would rape one. a OE turbo GT would not stay with one at all in a straight line standing or rolling

    Pre headgasket failure i raced one from standstill to about 70, then had to slow as he was driving like a ****, and we were entering a residentail area. (And corner's
    He couldn't pull away.
