    Take him to pod mate. 200bhp In your puto. Vs 212 In the focus i dunno the wieght but i reckon youll do ok. Then roll back to the mates with the times and tell them what engine you got. see the smile drop from his face.

    at the end of the day he has 600 cc more on a sports tuned engine anyway.

    in all fairness there not that quick.

    on the way home from pod last week as soon as i pulled onto the 127 frome the m25 i gunned it and he followed suit, from about 40 some div on the on ramp but lucky for me ideal revs in 3rd and i was gone up to about 100 he had nothing on me.

    i left sam behind though lol

    Lets be serious here, the RS is in a completely different league to a punto.

    The whole car is set up to be a track focused machine, far far different to the punto.

    Don't get me wrong a modded GT might do ok (straigh line) but the RS is just a far far better package.

    That's a daft comment ^

    The RS isn't a track focussed machine.

    It's a watered down version of what we were supposed to be offered (300+ bhp and 4wd, not 200 bhp and fwd in something heavy) in order that they satisfy several market areas.

    Every report I've read and see says fwd is a silly idea for that car, that the interior is an embarassment, the car should have more power through 4 wheels, and the "clever" diff at the front just leans toward understeer.

    I see no reason why a 180 bhp+ punto would have problems. It weighs a great deal more than a Punto in any event.

    thats why he couldnt get passed me until circa 100mph.

    GT's have a good power to weight ratio

    on the straight a 170+ bhp GT will sit with a FRS as long as the GT has a good driver..

    regarding handling, if the GT had some nice money spent on springs and shocks youll supprise him on the bends... yet again thats with someone who knows how to drive.
