Considering that several others have agreed with me now, there is several scenarios here:
Yours arguing for the sake of arguing because you don't like being wrong
Your car is f*cked and is slower than the average crop of 6s/rallyes
You can't drive it properly.
You are much like dum dum in the fact you genuinely believe that displacement automatically means more power.
Oh and just FYI, I've owned a fair few cars that aren't 306s and driven a hell of a lot more so before you say it, i don't have the blinkers on. There is a lot out there quicker than a 6 but theres also a lot out there slower.
Not arguing for the sake of arguing, im sticking by my point because i believe its valid.
My car is most certainly not f*cked, its abit rough around the edges but mainly cosmetic.
I guess you'll have to take me at my word that i can drive it properly. I like to think i can anyway.
Oh i know all too well that displacement and power are 2 very different things, but if you start with more, you usually have the potential for more.
Power to weight plays a big part of it admittedly but has anyone on here actually looked at the factual power and weight figures for both cars? also look at the amount of sheer torque the ST creates.
Please feel free to call my bluff with an informed and factual answer if you can find one that agrees with your side of the debate.
Focus ST2 dry kerb weight: 1437kg - 222bhp (3 door variant)
306 Rallye dry kerb weight: 1200kg - 167bhp
Anyone care to do the maths?
