[thumper]

Published on Oct 27, 2016
It’s Ford vs Ford in this week’s Top Gear Drag Race, as we pit the muscular, 345bhp Ford Focus RS against the, um, muscular Ford Mustang. With a V8. Yup, it’s four-cylinders vs eight, turbo vs natural aspiration, 345bhp vs 425bhp. Tom Ford and Ollie Marriage are your hosts. Take it away...

Were they even pushing the RPM? The focus sounded like he was shifting at 5k.

Anyone that's believes a stock Focus is out running a Stock GT in a drag race is a nitwit. Not happening with the same drive in each car. Once the mods go on things will be even for a while. til the little 4 banger blows up.

european 5.0 have 10 hp less!!!!

And the extra 10hp is worth what in a 1/4 mile race? A European Mustang is going to run an 12.8 to 12.7 here......the focus is running 13.4.

0-60mph in 5.3 seconds is the slowest time published anywhere.
