Waste of money mate and as said a Ford will NEVER be as good a build as a VW or any other VAG car FORD = Found On Roadside Dead.

I have owned two fords in the past and although they were good cars and had no problems with them, the quality and longevity is questionable.

My Stage 1 Mk2 Leon Cupra has already left 2 RS Foci for dead. They are too damn heavy lol.

You have definately made the right choice. The Ford might be a very satisfying car to drive but it just looks way to chavvy for me, put it this way, your picking a lady up on the first date, what would you rather be in? A chavvy RS or an understated GTI? I know what my decision would be! Plus they aint that quick anyway, I left one for dead from the lights the other day, 4WD + S-Tronic = WIN!  :grin:

I remember racing a few months back on stage one at about 310 bhp and i made him look like he was going backwards...

he wasnt best pleased.

They look nice and drive nice but just too expensive for what it is

You finally joined up. Heard a rumour concerning our DP's lately, not sure if its true will talk about it in private.


The thing is though, you can mod the chassis of our golfs as much as we want, but the RS will still be superior, it has a wider track for a start and a more informative steering wheel.

They kick out about 375hp on the std turbo and 80lbft more of torque.

Even though mine pisses all over a std RS i still know which car I would rather take round a track.

.....

I parked next to one recently and took some pics. I was surprised at the poor quality of details - Very plasticky but cheap looking plastics. I was also surprised by how big a car the RS is.








GTI looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better

It's also 100kg heavier!

RS = 300bhp and 1467kg = 204.5bhp/tonne

Modded GTI = 250bhp and 1350kg = 185bhp/tonne

Phil Mc (Steve's) stage 1 ED30 = 278bhp - 1380kg = 201.5bhp/tonne




Phil modded his car!?!??  :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:
UNBELIEVABLE!
I remember when he had his blue GTI and called all modding blasphemy!   :signLOL:

well i saw my first RS this week, in white, tripped over my own tongue! it is very very very nice to look at aethestically

but how glued together would it be in 1 to 2 years? Ford shoot themselves in the foot regularly  :laugh:

Do i want one? no
Would i have one? yes
 :innocent:


VC was that the one at St Ives Ford?


Well I'd have one....in white of course :happy2:

I agree....credit must also be handed to VW for making the ED30 soooooo tuneable too. I'd rather have a decent starting point than something which is Ford's take on a finished article - even if it is a creditable car :wink:
