He bought a Focus ST. His 1,000 mile review is "it's fun!"

This car makes insane torque. Light hatch, FWD, gobs of torque. It's a highway roll monster. I'd love to see one against a 370z. I'm sure youtube will have tons of "focus st vs..." videos soon.

We are waiting for some more companies to finish their development before we settle on parts for hers. She wants intake, cbe, and tune at the least. Don't know if we'll do a downpipe or not yet.

Torrie from Unleashed Tuning has his development car up to 313/35x right now but I don't remember all he's done to get there.

Downpipe is like the holy grail mod to turbo cars, you know you want it.

Basically 30 shot of nitrous plus tune. He doesn't think you will see the north side of 300 w/o a turbo upgrade. The good news? The price of a turbo upgrade on a car that is already turboed is almost insignificant.

Z will likely lose, ford owners rejoice!

binary0x01 · 11-10-2012, 05:23 PM

Z might lose to 60 meby 70... I think by 80+ it will come out ahead. Not to mention the experience will be much better in the 370Z

I don't even know why we'd make that comparison. I'd see how it stacks up against MS3, GTI, WRX, etc.
