[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] [code]Where did you find this bollocks?[/code] No-where appropriate. Only the Ford ST website, only the AStra VXR website and owners who've sold up and bought an astra. Never seen 1 post so far from someone owning an astra selling up for a Focus ST... [quote] I can't find anything on the site about this? Care to explain? Also, I hate people who suggest a 13 mile track is a race track. It's not! It has a massive straight that shows up the slightest lack of power. One thing I did notice on the site regarding the ST though...[/ [/quote] Buy the latest issue, review in teh back.. The Nurberg test won't utilise the full straight, it'll be a normal road test, i.e bridge to brigde.... Fact is the Focus done it marginally quicker than the Zarifa did, and it has 1 extra cylinder, 500cc more, and an engine from another car.... Ho hum... [quote][i]Autocar[/i] This is an option thanks to the ST’s linear power delivery: if this was a VXR, we’d be disappearing in a cloud of uncontrollable wheelspin about now.[/quote]. Yeah, but the VXR has TCS, and go look at my Youtube site, no wheelspin at all, not once on my track day in our Astra VXR......... Fact is, the ST is slower than the VXR in every way. Have you ever driven an ST yet?? The ST leaves your feeling empty and bored. The astra leaves you smiling and wanting more. End of. [quote] We'll just ignore the fact that Volvo are owned by Ford, anyway. That and the T5 engine was developed with Ford Motors money.[/ [/quote] And fitted to Volvos for how long now? Only now are they realising they are falling behined. But as I say, you carry on defendeing the 5 cylinder 500cc extra cc engine thats still slower than the astra.... EDIT, in standard format to keep your pants on..... Also, and you dare to critise GM for sharing a platform with Fiat I guess the BTCC cars arn't modified versions of the road cars. I guess motorsport has nothing to do with cars developments? I guess no technology has derived from the track to the road? Next.... [Edited on 04-01-2007 by VXR] [/quote]
