Default focus ST225

damn, just been beat by an ST!.
2006 focus ST - 225 bhp, and 236 lb ft.

caught me unawares at red lights - i knew it was a focus, but didnt think he was on for a race! if so, i'd of launched from 3k or so.

he pulled away pretty sharpish 2car lengths infront. when vtec kicked in and was pretty even from then on. just started to catch up but i backed off.
before anyone says - no it wasnt the orange ST - was the boring blue one. hence why i thought it was just a normal focus and didnt give it as much as i should of.


so, focus 1 - 0 s2000

I got humped by a pikey in an old Volvo S70 or something. Boged it down off the lights and he was away

I get beat by almost everything off the line

I just cannot be bothered as my clutch is getting on, I just blast past the Volvos and Datsuns when I am good and ready.

Now give me a hot pursuit chase on an empty road though!

I don't care what blasts past me or beats me off the line.... I still have the better car, It's the driver that's letting it down
