Focus RS vs Flame Spitting Golf R32 Nurburgring

[@bitcozy5327]

A 16 year old car vs a new RS? I say this was a well done on the R32s part, a naturally aspirated VR6 vs a 2.3T with much more horsepower, it’s crazy. Although the golf guy was kind of risky in and around the chicanes coming in at full blast but I am really impressed with the R32s performance on its home grounds.

[@Zim5.0]

I agree, I'd rather take the R32 instead, it's value is appreciating and if you turbo it you'd be flying. He's happy that he won a race against a 19 year old hatchback, boy he'd be disappointed against the new mk8 golf r.

[@bitcozy5327]

@@Zim5.0 oh I know, even the MK7/7.5 could give this car a run for its money. I have a MK5 R32 and I beat Focus ST’s that are gunned especially from a dead stop. You can’t really beat AWD launches

[@TTGT2000]

That golf is most probably tuned, big time.

@@bitcozy5327 RS is AWD, and more of a true AWD as opposed to the golf R which can only give max 30% to the rear wheels, and doesn't normally do so unless in a corner(?)

[@bitcozy5327]

@@Tyr1001 a simple mod known as a Haldex Controller can enable the AWD system to to distribute 50/50. Also the all Wheel Drive system is actually pretty effective in a daily driven sense considering the engine has less mass to to rotate in normal driving conditions thus giving better fuel efficiency. If the vehicle AT ALL loses traction at any given time there is this cool thing called torque vectoring which sends some of that PURE power to the rear tires.

Good, polite driving from you TF, the Golf guy was a bloody dangerous moving chicane. Have you got a Mountune or Cobb upgrade on your RS?

[@DanielBrown3793]

Thanks! Yeah that golf was a terd.. I had the Cobb OTS tune, but took it back to stock to get some warranty work done.

[@johnmclaughlin2845]

Liked the wee bit of off-roading at start Thank f for the 4 wheel drive

[@DanielBrown3793]

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention for a second as I made sure I wasn't gonna hit him and I ran wider than wanted. Lol first he pissed me off. But then I relaxed and just stuck to his ass.

[@RobErt-xm6sv]

The guy in the Golf is a really bad track driver. They actually have to give these people a fine for unsafe driving!

[@DanielBrown3793]

@@RobErt-xm6sv technically the Nurburgring is a public road on Tourist drive days. So normal road rules apply (eg. Only pass on the left, no racing, yield to faster drivers.. etc.) However it allows for ppl like him to just buy a lap ticket and get on the track.

@@RobErt-xm6sv one can only hope haha. If he does he'll probably still show his friends and say "I beat a focus RS" 😂

[@leecole929]

At 4:22 did the driver cry and say "it's not a f...ing race dude."?

[@DanielBrown3793]

Yes I did lol and the proceeded to lable the video as a race 😉 see what I did there?

[@andrewmcbeth6552]

How long did it take to buy the focus rs for you

[@dry509]

Is driving this car more fun than other cars...what about a mustang or Camaro manual v8 it a Corvette manual? Have you compared? On the street as a daily? I don't know what to get? No track close to me btw.

[@DanielBrown3793]

I haven't compared any of those cars from the driver seat, only from the passenger seat. If your only looking to daily the car than it would depend on your drive to work or the store lol if it's twisty then I don't think there's anything close to the RS at the price you can get one. But on the flip side, there really is no replacement for displacement, and V8's are a great budget option to make a ton of power and have fun that way too.

[@DanielBrown3793]

@@dry509 get a V8 you'll have more fun. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my RS. But in Texas you're gonna need a 1000 HP V8 haha
