Yea 215hp but also 295lb ft of torque from this car, combined with 7 speed DSG and quattro...poor Focus ST :D Maybe retry with better tyres and use the rpms more? :) Even a stage 1 remap would yield about 300lb ft torque, or more...

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Nice one mate! Swapped the tts on Saturday for a Audi S5 V8 4.2 on a stage one tune, back box delete. Manual 😮😊👍

[@CarFocused]

Nice!😃

[@DreamCarGarage1]

was just patiently waiting to hear him see that 'Carly' could remap your car for more power....but sadly, just fold my mirrors down. Thanks Carly

[@CarFocused]

Haha now that would have been cool!

[@davidklam888]

i have a a4 b9 3.0 tdi 218bhp i tuned it to stage 1 and it went up to 321bhp with 541nm torque! its a beast now

[@LMAO2510]

Gearbox okay with that torque ? Is is the s tronic ? What’s the reliability like on these cars ?

[@Amaadification]

I've got this exact same A4 - when you say sleeper I can relate. I've been racing GTD'S, Leon FR's and beat them every time 😂 and I've got the bog standard Sport (dad car edition). It's a buzz when you see the reaction on the faces of people who think it's a slow dad car 😂😂😂😂. The best one is when someone tries undertaking you, flip it down into sport and wave goodbye 😂

[@CarFocused]

😂😂 I have fun doing this on a regular basis!haha.

[@OrangeTash]

You would hope you're beating 2.0 diesels lol 😂😂 nothing to brag about

[@Amaadification]

@@OrangeTash bit late on the comment I don't have the car anymore I moved on to something you probably will make another bitter comment about.

[@legomass1000]

[@Lidds1973]

Had my 2.0 Tdi B9 (from new) upgraded. Now pulling c 240 ps, 470nm. There is auto launch Loving being the the old guy in an estate that whips kids in their cars 😂 Had a lad in an ST all up in my grill going down an A road. Pulled off the slip, lad pulled up & asked me what I’d done to it as he was struggling to keep up at 120 😂

[@Alex-gv5yv]

Thank you for your video!

[@piovo5222]

Launch control should be traction off, sport mode, brake pedal pushed right till end and the gas pedal right to end then just let go of brake.

[@CarFocused]

That’s what I did on the last run - hooked up much better!👌🏻

[@chrisryanst]

Audi has a great reputation for producing awesome cars from there top of the range to family cars and you have one of them, yes its a 3ltr 4wd but I wouldn't mind one that's for sure. Hopefully, you will decide to push your RS but can appreciate your apprehensive to but I reckon it can take it

[@CarFocused]

Indeed mate - the Audi has been a great car to be fair - can’t fault it really!

[@DazzBeat]

Wasn't expecting that, definitely a sleeper 😲👍

[@CarFocused]

Surprises a few people for sure 😉

[@Birmingham_racing]

I forget you had this. You need to remap this and it will beat your rs to 60 lol

[@CarFocused]

It would be savage with a remap - it’s already pretty quick!

[@Birmingham_racing]

@@CarFocused why do you have this and the focus as a daily?

[@CarFocused]

@@Birmingham_racing this is my wife’s car really mate, and the family car.

[@DazzBeat]

Maybe you should start a sleeper series of episodes of cars like this, very interesting results 👍

[@CarFocused]

That’s a good idea 👍🏻

[@simontaylor3211]

I really wished I’d gone for that engine in my B9 A4 TDi, Gary. You did try to persuade me to be fair 😃 You just need to convince the wife to go stage 1 at least?

[@CarFocused]

The engine is a peach! Great mpg, reliable abs very smooth / fast! Maybe you could buy ours?😂

[@simontaylor3211]

@@CarFocused I wish I could mate but I've promised the wife we need to replace her ageing A3 next. And the A4 avant won't be on her shortlist 🤦👍

[@2595220]

no offence to your focus st, but id take a diesel audi estate any day of the week :D

[@CarFocused]

It’s a good car to be fair mate. Been a solid family wagon 👌🏻👌🏻

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Automatic gearbox makes all the difference.

[@CarFocused]

Yea it’s so much easier - no real skill involved at all really 😂

[@marttiartama7951]

Getting a 2016 272 hp version tomorrow. Takes 1 second off as stock version goes. Stage one would push it under 5 sec for sure. That is one boring sleeper!

[@CarFocused]

They are flying buses!

[@peakseamus]

I've a saloon b9, 3.0tdi quattro sport...cloth seat sleeper edition also. Just wish I was a better driver TBH 😂

[@davidwood4271]

Great video 👍 prefer the st of death 😅

[@f00lxpl]

maybe faster than the RS? I know the mk2 RS should be 5.9 but is it?

[@CarFocused]

Yes standard RS is 5.9 - I’m a little reluctant to launch my RS though as I don’t want to break it 😂🙈

[@euanscotland]

@@CarFocused probably due some new driveshafts anyway. Good way to find out! I recently had to buy new ones for mine.

[@f00lxpl]

@@CarFocused but you only live once ;)

[@TheBradboy21]

Miserable Engkish Summer, role on Spring?

[@CarFocused]

Winter!lol. My head wasn’t in the game 😂

[@TheBobwatermellon]

Do you ever regret selling your Mk3 RS? I know the Mk2 and ST and great but both lack AWD.

[@CarFocused]

Not at all mate. I just found ownership a constant worry 😢

[@TheBobwatermellon]

@@CarFocused Don't tell me that, I just got my Mk3 😅 good thing It is under warranty.

[@tomreid1746]

But which one sounds better? 😉

[@TheBradboy21]

I have the V6 tdi. 330bhp and 780nm. It's rapid. Properly rapid Quattro.

[@CarFocused]

We no longer have this car now but we do miss it. With a simple map it would have been properly fast!

[@steeldevil98]

See you say boring audi but i think the mk2 focus is one of the most boring cars on the road. I hated mine doesn't matter what variant you have lol

[@stuee_mk1stuee_mk169]

The Mk2 ST is completely different to the lesser models of mk2 focus

[@tracktimevideos5164]

What mk2 Focus did you have? The Focus ST was one of the most fun hot hatches at launch and has a great engine and chassis with a very adjustable and mobile rear end. Only the R26 was a better hot hatch in 2006.

[@CarFocused]

Granted the boggo Mk2’s were dull but ST / RS are very good fun! The RS is a beast 👌🏻

[@lewissaunders2837]

How many miles have you done in the A4 ?

[@CarFocused]

We’ve done about 24,000 I think since we bought it….

[@Holdeenio]

@@CarFocused quite a bit mate! Not bad considering you’ve got a whole fleet now too 😂 do you drive a lot for work?

[@CarFocused]

@@Holdeenio we’ve done a few long runs in it as it’s used for holidays etc in the UK. I don’t do too many miles for the commute and I use the ST for those 😁

[@marksmith7191]

Wanna see the RS 0-60 👍👍

[@CarFocused]

I’m a bit scared of launching the RS 😂🙈

[@eddiec438]

With a remap and better tyres on the ST I predict it will beat the Audi.

[@CarFocused]

Probably be much closer! But with a remap the Audi would be so fast!haha

[@eddiec438]

@@CarFocused The stock ST is de-tuned though. It needs a remap to produce what it should've from the factory. Give it a chance against modern cars and remap it. 👍

[@CarFocused]

@@eddiec438 to be honest mate I might not keep it for much longer with fuel prices sky rocketing. It’s starting to become quite pricey to run everyday. Prices have gone up almost 40 pence per litre since I bought it!

[@eddiec438]

@@CarFocused That'd be a shame. I'm lucky that I now WFH so dont do much mileage in mine any more.... just nip out to the shops and a blast on the country lanes.
