So basically a 2.0 16v would have a focus RS over 1/4 mile...

Im not sure TBH. IT would cane an ST170 for sure, but im not certain about the RS. It would be damn close. LuckyB's Corsa would easily beat any Focus, but would it be present?

Robbos right im afraid. Figures dont mean anything.
i.e
Corsa Sport 1.4 16v, 0-60 in 10.5
At a Corsa Vs Nova Day at Alconbury airstrip (bought 3+ years ago, C4RSA 1st public showing ) D4 done a 9.55 using official equpment. Only mods were 15"s, ind kit, rear box.
Official stats are not always spot on. They are an average of x amount of attemps.
i.e they may test a 0-60 100 times, sometimes it might do a 6.0 0-60, other times 70 0-60. Then the average is worked out.

But robbo is saying the focus would win cos' it costs 18k
I can't see it myself but with a few mods or stripping corsa might win, Adam Kindness was into 14.?'s just stripped wern't he?Theres'a also another las with pretty much std c20xe getting sub 15's

A 2.0 16v Corsa should do the 1.4 mile in low 15s or high 14s, I think Itd have the edge.
