Will also be lighter ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Welcome to the family Martin, although I am concerned you miss the POWER of the CORSA (two words I never thought would come together!) Therefore it is our obligation to ensure you get the most power out of your Focus as possible and trump upon your past ownership :p How many horses difference is there in your Focus compared to the menace you previously had? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I just realise, I replied twice to this thread :D haha... doh! Well Martin, I hope you feel doubly welcome! and 198! what was it, the SRI? I am shocked I didn't realise they could put out that much juice! I am sure with a bit of investment, TLC and a few mods you could probably get close to that :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCA Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Should of said was a 3dr sri with same map as vxr standard Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app The Corsa is 150Ps and 155-ft-lbs as standard, "warm hatch" Corsa is an unfair comparison (or almost 200Hp tuned) to the stock "family car" 1.6 deisel Focus in terms of performance - i bet the MPG is better though you really need to compare like-for-like (eg an SRI to an ST, vxr to an RS ) There was a 240Hp Focus tdci 1.6 but it had a lot of workdone / money spent on it and a more realistic figure for a 1.6 TDCI is about 140-150Hp (but a lot more torque) - without spending a fortune tuning it There is a lad nearby with a Nurumbing? edition, i don't race on the roads but i just happened to be going the same way and i was in a little bit of a hurry, the Corsa goes like lightning off the line but it seems to run out of puff in the midrange/ seems to have similar acceleration/ compared to my (only slightly modified :) ) Mondeo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
