Between Two Cars: Ford Fiesta ST Mk8 Drag Race

We put two Mk8 Ford Fiesta ST's head to head in a drag race. There was only one difference between the two; Revo ECU Software.

Cheers for a wicked day! The software is absolutely awesome 😎

For those who say it's not enough difference, I mean, are you blind or something? It's obviously huge, very impressed, and they also made a great work; good job!

Not a big enough gap to make it worth throwing your warranty away.

[christopherreed]

Well that was a bit disappointing given the suspense/big reveal on FB. I went with the Mountune on my last ST, lower on power most likely but a worthwhile option to consider with the warranty remaining intact.

I wonder what difference in acceleration people await from a power difference of maybe 30 to 40hp. Even if it´s about 15 to 20% more in this case, it can hardly result in 2sec less from 0 to 60mph. You would wonder how much is needed to just get a half second. For just a software tune this is an really impressive result, the difference is clearly visible and you can imagine how much different the cars feel when driving it. Alone the sportier feeling, even with no improvement in max power output at all can be worth a good software tune.

Have people forgotten it’s only a STAGE 1 map? 😒🤦‍♀️

[davidrowley]

I have very recently had the revo stage 1 remap on my mk8 fiesta st & it makes a massive difference over standard i had mine put on a hub dyno & it was pushing out 250bhp & 385 nm no other mods but i always use tesco momentum

This test would appear much more genuine if JBCTR got to drive his own car to showcase that he absolutely floored it. Revo has an interest in his car appearing slower and thus it would make sense they did not drive it. Just my 2c

[Hollyone]

That's by far no 50-60hp difference like your st was tested.
Looks like 220hp/330-340nm to stock.

Please add records: 0-100km/h 100-200 km/h or 0-60 millie per hour

[hearthjunkie]

Now we just need release date and price 👍

[STEVEBHPDEVON]

I think the most important thing is that is faster revo know how to add power

[marcowillembezuidenhout]

I 1st read the comments before watching, I was expecting a half a car or max two car lengths gap, based on the comments.
That gap is huge for just software stage 1... like 4 fiesta ST car lengths!!!

[krAwly]

Why didn't you show any times for both cars so we could see the difference in 0-60 & the over all 1/4 mile speed because that's really essential information to portray the software properly?

[richardhurr]

I'm guessing this was an early stage 1 remap. The early ones only gave about a 20bhp gain until the tuners got to know the car and unlocked more power. Stage 1 now sees 240+bhp.

[nilzr]

Well... A small difference to say the least. Is this video supposed to prove that the remap is worth the money? If so, I would consider it a fail especially taking in account the claimed difference in horsepower and torque.

[adamjones]

50bhp difference should be huge! That's 15/20bhp max

[tonyhill]

Great video and results. I don’t suppose you know where the wind deflectors were from on the Revo ST? They look awesome.

[argyrislivas]

Question: do the KW lowering springs, replacing the stock force vectoring ones, and the 20mm spacers negatively affect the cars handling wise?

[emanuelediclaudio]

Mi aspettavo che c’era più differenza tra le due! La stock va di poco meno
