I'd have to agree I had the evo 10 FQ 300 with the SST gear box and I had nothing but problems with it, after spending 1500 quid on a new cam chain after 36000 miles I traded it in for the focus RS and I love it the sound is brilliant, it makes me wish I'd gone for this in the first place.

Hi I'm from the future. There is an upgraded stronger chain now! The engine is an open deck design on the Focus and has proved unreliable, unlike the semi-closed design on the evo.

Just an FYI - we have a few companies here in the US that track the reliability of automakers, such as JD Power and Consumer Reports, etc and according to them, many of the US Fords match the reliability of the japanese autos, and exceed the average reliability of the volkswagens, bmws, audis, etc. I'm not a huge ford fan at all, I just figured you might want to check it out.

But they are just not interrested in the real racing-bit of it all , like many people. So yes , FG is boring, but in my thinking also a good addition to TG .

A friend of mine has a tuning company and so a dyno at his company factory. He owns a Focus rs and an new rs 500 and put it on a dyno. The normal focus only had 230 hp and the rs 500 something around 260 he said. They tried to tune the rs (normal one) and didn't get it over 300 hp. I've heard this shit before with other fast cars ! I'm a big fan of the focus rs and this was a real slap in the face for me, and also for him spending 45000 euros on a RS 500

To your credit though, there's just no way to get that ten thousanths place in your timing with the stop watch. You still have to use modern timing gear for that. -cheers-

The Evo only gets Chassis que's from the Lancer. The AWD came from the Galant VR-4 in 1992 when the Evo 1 was introduced into the rally circuits. The only reason it retained the LANCER name was because it was easier to name it the Lancer Evolution rather than start a whole new line of cars after putting together a Rally ready frankenstein out of other mitsubishi cars/parts. It is NOT an evolved version of the Lancer, considering Dodge/Chrysler ALSO owned the rights to the Lancer.

Today there was an interesting announcement made in your own country: "A panel of judges have unanimously declared the Ford Focus the used car of the decade, both as the overall winner and as the best medium-sized family car. The judges, an assortment of used car and vehicle valuation experts, voted for the Focus due to its ability to set new standards of quality in the volume car market." So are they wrong too? Are all these "experts" wrong? Have you done a better survey or study?

True.. Even with a TCS, the driver was still losing traction on 2nd gear. That's one of the reason why it's losing time. Not only that, since it's FWD, and has too much power for an FWD, it's putting too much pressure on the front tires, which causing to lose loose grip faster, and wearing out the tires faster. That's why it was having bad understeer, and it was affecting the breaking performance. I think the Focus wouldve won if it was at least a RWD or 4WD..
