Bolt on Focus RS 1/4 Mile Pass

[AustinSN]

I dont corner fast. Ever. So ima just say nice video and car. Id love one to daily.

You should try cornering fast, it's a riot.

I usually have to grab the e-brake to make any turns.

You think people are buying RS's to drag and roll race? No.. I'll bet 90% of them that actually get used will be on windy roads and auto X. And those people couldn't care less that some people thought it would beat a gt and were wrong. I'm even preferring a focus ST over the viper and cobra these days.

proof will be in the 1000 to 1 drag/roll race videos vs the track videos.

I can tell you they are absolutely worth the money. One of the best performance cars I have bought for the price. I have a few performance cars too. 2011 raptor, 2014 SHO, 96 blown cobra,

I'd wager your SHO if PP with a tune will run mid to high 12's. That is much more impressive than what the RS's are running.

He has a low 11 second Lightning.

we all know f150's cant corner.

They definitely don't do well turning in front of other vehicles. L's do well for 4700lb trucks. Let's see how well a RS does with 500lbs loaded in it's bed towing a 5000lb car and trailer.

I actually used to see a couple lightnings at autoX. No they didn't have the fastest times but they had just as much fun lol

If you say so. But my SHO will be for sale next week if that says anything.

I finally found and evo that runs an 11.7 with similar mods. Except it needed to be an RS with the same mods plus cams, evo IX turbo and drag radials.

I wasnt referring to that incident. I was just poking for at our trucks in general. Speaking of, if you need help wrenching on it, let me know.

I was poking fun at myself. Still waiting to hear from insurance. But I'll probably let it go and get a Raptor.

The refinement will be nice. Plus a warranty. I have lost interest in my truck.

An RS only weighs 44lbs less than a regular evo and hks cams are just like stock evo IX cams. And trust me, that car doesn't need drag radials, I don't even know why they would put drag radials on a 350-360whp evo. Lol.

The 272 still makes gains so therefore it is an improvement over stock. Also, the weight difference is greater than 44lbs. 3026 vs 3263. Just because it didn't need DR's doesn't mean it didn't help the car run that time.

I was thinking about the IX RS weight, not sure how much the weight difference is between the 8s. Also, the drag radials didn't do anything for that car, wouldn't matter what tires on it at that level.

Here's one with very minimal mods going 11.8

 

[gimmie11s]

Are we still comparing quarter mile performance of the FoRS to the Mitsubishi's of old?

Mitsubishi has been doing what the FoRS has "accomplished" on a drag strip since 1990; yes, 27 years ago.

Keep the discussion to cornering and track performance, where the FoRS can at least compete.

 

[black99lightnin]

So bolt-on tuned RS is slower than a stock 2016 Mustang GT? 12.36 @ 113 on 235/50/18 Pirellis.

Lol the old ring argument... classic

I'm not sure if he meant (The Ring) or (**** not the ringlands)

pump gas vs. E85. Focus RS is gonna go even faster than that 11.7 on E85. I guess we'll just have to wait and see the full potential.
