just been out with a friend, doing a little testing with the cars.

on greasy roads it was hard to keep the vx straight and whenever i put the power down it lifted the front end which was annoying so will have to sort that. over the twisty back roads the rs500 had the advantage, i just couldnt get grip, i was spinning in 3rd around some corners.

video shows from 10mph acceleration to erm... cant remember.

anyway, here is the vid.

Christ it looks like the focus wasnt even trying lol. Yours sounds great with the charger whine.

It didnt look as if both of you were giving it the full beans tho.

Even without a passenger the Focus would've lost by miles anyway.
