Default puppy kicking ...Focus RS vs cammed LS3 and a SC Rover

So there is some videos about a tuned RS beeing "faster" than exhaust LS3 Camaros. Obviously I wasnt buying the hype and was curious to see if they are worth something. Well it was a disaster; I did a lazy 3rd gear and proceed to put a bus on him pretty fast. Guy was cool and gave thumps up. He let up before getting humiliated..

Waste of gas. Car is a cammed LS3 5th gen. My friends boltons G35 felt and boltons Caliber felt stronger!!

Did a 2-3 gear race against a Land Rover 2015ish supercharged and it was waayyyyyy faster!! He put up a good fight! Got him by 4 lengths or so. I spun in 2nd gear. Those trucks leave hard!

Not much of a story but was curious to see where RS stands.

Ive seen a few at the track. Not impressed at all.


From a roll a stock 5th gen ls3 with a good driver would win for sure.

Those cars are more of a dig car I wouldn't sleep on one at a redlight . If he was tuned from a dig he would prolly hurt your feelings those are not roll racing cars lol .

Yeah its a good thing they are slow as hell and cant run the 1/4 mile under 13s and get raped from a roll so I didnt get my feelings hurt. Overpriced turd.

Seriously a SS 1LE is the same price as a the RS. An auto 6th gen will leave alright on a dig. Powerful cars arent for everyone.

Livernois had a tune only focus at Milan last November. It never hit 12s
