Whatever U may do, we want a lap time on all cars, without that all claims are subjective, it dosent matter whether RS is the fastest or not but a lap time on each car will be well appreciated

should have been called focus rs vs the world.

Screw the 0-60 times for this test. A dual-clutch will always beat manual.
I want track times!! On a dry track!!

I wish they did the 1m in the f20 style for a comparisons.

My black RS is ordered ... unfortunaly I have to wait a few months ..

I think/predict that many fans of the other hot hatches will be genuinely shocked at how well the Focus RS performs :-)

On the track the focus will have it I recon but in the real world you're not going to split the difference and the RS3 and A45 are better made and on finance, are the same price 👍🏻
