rica 304 with a mbc so its 1.2 bar.i got wasted the other day by one of the older blue focus rs and it was a bird driving so no doubt the audi was just toying with me..

only you or the audi driver can truly know how much of a "duel" it was. you're certainly not driving a slow car and the focus could also have been mapped.
Having said that, if i was to put money on who would win a race between the two my money would be on the audi

as the video below shows, 60-100mph(speedo) in about 7 seconds. i doubt very much, with all due respect to stevie of course, that he'd have much chance if the audi was fully wrung out.

happy to be proven wrong, as always.

IRF don't forget that speedo in that video is in kph not mph, never the less they are quick and ultimately the S5 would probably have the edge.

Stevie I am confident that the FRS would have been modified if it pulled on you like you said it did

**irf** · Wednesday 9th December 2009, 21:54

which is why i counted the 60- 100mph from 100-160km/h.

Ah my bad!
I hadn't even considered looking at the time after 100 as I assumed it would have slowed slightly..how wrong could I have been!

They won't be any quicker than your car IMO.

If it was standard you'd have pipped him easy.
Standard they ain't that great, Modded... They're alright.

Before anyone

gets upset, this obviously took place on a private road, as we know forum members do not condone racing on public roads

**T5frankie** · Thursday 10th December 2009, 19:12

I also have raced on one of these and he was pulling away from me really really slowly on a duel carriageway and my car was standard.

You mean a private runway

A remapped 850 is a surprisingly fast car once you get it rolling....... It is only once you step in to another car that you realise just how quickly the T5 engine pulls the car along.

easy way to tell? measure your 60-100 going through the gears as in the video above, on a private runway obviously. if you're around the 7 second mark it'd be close, if you're around the 10 second mark, well, thats what the EP3 civic type R does it in (evo magazine).simples.
