Focus ST vs Genesis 3.8

[OnURleft]

We just finished the break in on my friends ST so we wanted to see how it stacked up against similar cars so people could see

In the long pull we have 2 passengers and did not flat foot shift.

Stock ST vs Bolt on Genesis and a bike for fun

If I ever get a Genesis, I want to be just like the one in the video

Saw one driving the other day and I assumed they were faster than that. They sound awesome!

It's something like

0-60 in 5.9
1/4 14.4@98

Definitely not quick, but this chassis is really good and will be really competitive in autocross for it's class.

I believe it lapped Streets of Willow in 1:28.4 which would put it ahead of cars like

C5 Z06
07-09' C63
Pre facelift Cayman S
1st Gen GT500
etc.

Pretty impressive for something FF with 220whp (ish). What's really impressive on the car is the lack of torque steer

dang....you don't want to race a 13 genesis v6 then. if that one left you then I would hate to see the new one. but I do like the new ST. I think they will make some great power with a litte turbo swap. good run tho. I do like the way they look.

edit: on second look the st is actually pretty quick. if the genesis were stock you would be neck and neck.

seems like the focus has potential to be quick. i bet it would see nice gains from just bolt on's and a tune.

That fuel economy though.....

genesis's blow :(

that's really impressive on the st's end. Get some bolt ons and an accessport then REMATCH :D
