Seriously Guys

Did you think i would buy a FORD

I did but 1/24 scale one in white for my Boy

Yep i love My RS's but im old core to be honest from the MK1 RS 2000's upto the Legendry RS500 the old Focus RS was poor and this one is just a lairy hooligan with a dining table on the boot

Having seen one in the flesh though im not 100% convinced and with the prices creeping upto £31,000 for car that was launched with a price tag of £25,000 its putting me off even more

Right im off for a blast in The Mig :y

Those are nice... here in the US we have the Dodge Neon SRT-4 which was around 240hp factory, then the MAZDA Speed 3 with around 270hp... and a Caliber with around 280... all FWD....

And I guess the point of these is not to scare some other folks off the road but rather to enjoy the endless tire spin that makes you feel like you got a bull strapped to your seat... believe me though these machines as innocent as they may look have a stinger like that of  scorpion and you better watchout!

I always thought that 120 was the limit for FWD - I have driven FWD of that power and found them scarey yet 200 or more in RWD no issue.

lol martin you big girl! are you saying that 120bhp is scarey in a fwd car? my volvos got more than the standard 3.0 omega through the front wheels! all it does is say nay you cant accelerate that fast and spins the wheels depending what your doing lol then if you do spin the wheels with the traction control on it backs the power right off throwing your head forward violently if you have your foot down lol!
