Old shape or new shape?

They have about 200bhp generally in the 2.0.

My brothers got a 9-3 Aero. 2.0T with about 210 bhp, goes quite well.

Some of the new 3 series BMWs are giving me a run for my money!

Could be a remapped Saab

Focus STs are about on par with me.

they are, depends on the bellend driving it i suppose.

if you're in a standard astra vxr then the focus will be about even. same goes with the cupra r 225.

My car is in need of a remap soon, with all these new cars catching up

The BMW I had a play with the other day was quick off the line. I couldn't overtake until the silly speeds.

i am in debate with a guy on rado forum about the focus ST.

i said i've kept up with two different ones that were trying and he tells me a standard VR6 would be "annihalated" by a focus ST.

They do a 1.9 TTDi which isn't exactly shy in a straight line

more than likely wouldn't be. a focus st weighs nearly 1400kg's, think they bhp/tonne is around 160bhp.

Think I might need a new MAF or something, been feeling sluggish (could be weather) and hesitating around 5000rpm.

The 2.0t are the 175bhp ones. Can be mapped at the dealers to 210bhp.

The 2.0T are 210bhp and can be mapped to about 240bhp (I think).

Did it look anything special?

It didn't look anything special the guy had a suit on in the Saab ha ha and I'm sure astra vxr"s are quicker than focus st"s
