I really doubt that the person can drive then. 130bhp as apposed to your 90. And they aren't THAT heavy.


Not much heavier than my puma tbh :thumbs:

Saying that though i think i get get my corsa off the line quicker than the puma. It has this stupid traction thing you cant turn off :lol:

according to the stats the 1.8 is 9.9 to 60 and the 2.0 is 8.9 so the sport is somewhere in the middle

I'm guessing your 1.4 sport is fairly tuned?

2.0l Foci (sp?) are slow considering the engine arent they? I assume they made them that slow so the ST would look so much faster?

But then similar story at Vauxhall with the 1.8 Astra being faster than the 2.0, but IIRC that is due to different gearbox ratios?

On of my good friends has just got him self 52 plate 2.0 focus.

Had a few plays with him and my 1.7 puma was a quicker everytime, and he wants more power!

I know on the pumas you can get the racing puma manifolds and get it mapped to make the racing puma power as they are the same engine.

Is this the case with the 'normal' 2.0 focus and the st170?
