^^ I just explained that Riced was the wrong word to use, and I like the Cosworth too don't get me wrong. Not trash the Focus but can't make me believe the Focus would be faster..

I believe the Focus has a chance when it is WRC spec, so with fancy diffs, electronics and torque. The car also needs another suspension setup. It pitches and rolls far too much to be fast on a track.

In the end the FXX is the ultimate track car with a lot of F1 technology, at least that is what Ferrari claims. I would definately set my money on the FXX.

hahaha that is timing for you!

I honestly don't know which is quicker. I know what my gut tells me, and that is the same as you - the FXX. There is just something telling me that give the cosworth the right driver and it may surprise a few people.

It still may not beat (or sound like) the FXX, but......it would be interesting, put it like that. 8)

Volunteers to test? We can start a betting den too.... :mrgreen:

But downforce only works at higher speeds.
Not in the slow corners.
Their has the ford focus the edge.
And my closing comment charles shaw the driver of the ford focus kowns knockhill pretty good.
Here is good inboard video of the knockhill racetrack.

^^ Well maybe but still we need to see it for real..

Maybe the Focus has got a chance, unlikely but still..

What an awesome soundtrack !!!

FXX sounds better than the F430 GT.

That Focus looks really fasr :o

Mmmmm what a sound :)

Let's be honest, EVEN IF the corners were fairly equal, how much of a straight would the FXX need to pull away? ... not very much I feel!!!! :D

Brilliant video, got bored otf watching a hatchback smoke it's back tyres and fast forwarded at the end though! :roll:
