Heads-up for new Fifth Gear series....

[vRS Carl]

Fair enough then 

I know a lot of people were complaining they didn't make the 300bhp

One of the blokes at work has one and had his tested and it only got 276bhp 

Might tell him to go and get it back on the RR

[Janner_Sy]

couldnt care less really, have  you heard them, bloody epic.  he couldnt get away from me once rolling when i had all the mods on and stage 2+, which p!ssed him off, lol.  id have one ina blink of an eye.

[vRS Carl]

Yeah I'm slightly quicker than him to 150  ( done on a runway before anyone asks )

He was quicker to about 75-80 though and yeah the sound is nice from that 5 Pot

[vRS Carl]

According to fifth gear the Focus RS only does 0-62 in 7.3 secs 

Think they need to go check their figures

[vRS Carl]

Button and Hamilton get an MP4-12C for free

well the meganne spanked the focus RS by quite a big margin.  The focus RS spanked the RoccoR, and we already know the rocco is faster on track than the golf R.  prob a good thing they never had the golf there, could have been quite embarassing given the price tag of it.

Don't  forget that there has been tests with the Rocco R being quicker round track than the RS. Bit odd really..

^^^^
Sorry Sy, but the Rocco's back seats are very poor - You can't see out the side windows unless you're a child - and the back isn't hatch shaped. It's a Golf coupe, not a hatchback imo.

[Janner_Sy]

still faster than the golf R though irrelevant of what type of car you think it is

that is true, however in the 4 or 5 vids i have seen now with these cars in the meganne has always been the top car, with the Rocco R and RS, being very competetive with each other. 

that said the golf R might have had a slight advantage with the traction in the damp.  I wander if that was why the rocco R was left behind, since it was the only one without a proper LSD.

Is it repeated ?.Stuck on nights & forgot to set the box.

it was a poor review of all the cars, they couldnt have spent morwe than 1 minute on each of the cars.  3 of the most important cars to hit the market

Some serious quality issues are already cropping up though. Several instances of the plastic inlet manifold exploding - one instance I know of needed a new bonnet! And they weren't mapped either, so standard boost pressure.

I'd take either R over the chav-chariot any day of the week. There's more to life than peak power figures and lap times. Point to point, on an a-typical British road, in a-typical damp British weather, I know where my money would be. All £37.5k of it.

[vRS Carl]

Surely you can get an S3 cheaper than £37.5k

That 458, oh my lord
