Nice!!! Enter FiST at 12:30. Good find PR, I'm just calling you PR the rest takes too long if thats alright haha

 

[pelotonracer2]

Oh the Fiesta ST is in there earlier than that (like right at the beginning), it's way up in front of that EVO for much of the first part of the video. hehe You can see this little white blurrr way up there.

 

[pelotonracer2]

I absolutely love how the Focus ST makes all those "noises"... exhaust sounds almost V-8-ish too.

That's awesome, I just saw both my cars at 12:30+

Funny to see at about 16:20 the Fiesta ST gets right back in front of the Focus. Great driving skills.

Cool vid. It's nice to see how well the FiST does on track compared with some other cars. Of course, driver skill and experience probably varies widely, if not wildly, amongst the drivers of the vehicles in the video, so one needs to be careful of conclusions (some of the lines taken are, shall we say, "creative"?), but still. Nicely done. Wonderful car we've got! [Well, most of us, anyway--apologies to those waiting!]

Im curious how it was making passes on straights, it is way down on power compared to the WRX and EVO. And still seemed to squirt away a bit on straights from the FoST.

Boy did it look good in the corners.

I was also curious about those straights. A modded focus should lay the hammer down on a FiST (modded or not) but it seemed like it had trouble gaining ground

Was it a race or just a lapping/filming event ? some parts did look damp if i recall

I thought it was a filming event too, but then the camera car made an effort to catch back up with the Fiesta. One things for sure, that FoST sounds reaaaallly good haha

 

[pelotonracer2]

My car sounds a lot like that Focus now with the FSERKs intake lol

Video or it never happened ....

Man I have the FSwerks intake too, and it doesn't sound THAT good haha. Then again, I dont drive with my head on the bumper, so who knows.
The FSwerks intake did make a great audible difference, as well as in the butt dyno...

Mine hasn't made a difference in the butt-dyno, but I did not disconnect my battery... I only drove it 6 miles so far.

I also did not disconnect my battery

We have no idea what mods if any were done to the Fiesta. It does NOT appear to be stock.

I found resetting the "ecu learning" on the Cobb helpful.

My intake makes some of the same noises as that Focus... my butt-dyno isn't very reliable these days. lol

 

[MKVIIST]

my butt-dyno isn't very reliable these days. lol

It's probably all the money in your wallet that is affecting your butt dyno lol.
