Corsa valver would own a firsta st and a corsa let would pretty much destroy a focus. I know iv been there, had a play with a ST in my old corsa turbo with a missfire and beat it, raced one when running right and anhilated it...there pish

Driving position in the new Fiesta's is good - I bet the ST150 is nice and comfy to drive, enough power and just generally good.

Straight line, XE corsa, no problems.
0-60, well 16"s on an F20 are about 59.4mph, so you need 3rd, dunno if the ST makes 60mph in 2nd?

Corsa XE vs 2.0 Focus, XE corsa even moreso, although Focus will have it on corners.

ST Vs LET, LET corsa straightline and all over the road fun-ness. Smooth straightline and corners, ST NO problems.... Hopefully will get to test the VXR against Donnas LET soon, so i'll let you know how it goes (as VXR is quicker than ST). VXR is smooth, Corsa is raw so feels quicker, but unsure yet which is actually faster.

What would i own out of the ST and Corsa...? The ST, then strip the fecker, tune it (good engine to tune I think), and track the slag. Will be more reliable.

if i had the choice out of an let corsa or my focus st then i'd probably choose the corsa... and that's saying alot!

focus is such a nice, modern, quite fast car though.

of course an let corsa with 200bhp standard is going to beat a focus st, they weigh about 1350kgs standard iirc!! totally different drives, it's not all about speed you know, it's about the driving experience...

everyone who owns xe's/lets should go ST baiting and post the results with video evidence, i once had a go with a focus st in my xe and i dont know how much he was flogging it but he didnt get away over about 1/2 a mile or so.
