Been offered a race...

[Tyre Smoke]

I'm willing to bet the Focus doesn't put out anything like that power or torque figures. And I doubt the Jag is all that exciting either.

OP, are you sure you shouldn't be posting this on Barry Boys?

I would be careful racing OP, your manifold could be in danger.

Nah, he's had all his compressions done, ain't he?

Oh my, this is another PH classic thread in the making.
I love the "compressions and timings" comment.

• edit* I haven't laughed like this for a long, long time.

Bucking the trend a little here what with actually giving you an answer.
Traction wont be an issue at this speed and the Focus has the superior power to weight ratio and I guess shorter non lazy auto gearing so I would expect that to win from 40-120. If you have suitable runway on offer then I'm undecided as to if the jag will start making a comeback due to the extra torque although it may be hampered by I expect worse aerodynamics.

My money would be on the Focus.

Disclaimer. Not condoning street racing blah blah blah.. and I expect everyone taking the piss in this thread has had a similar run against a few things in their motoring lives so off yer high horses.

I hope he doesn't mean they've leaned on all four corners to test the springs and synchronised their clocks!

I knew a fella owned a green Eclipse once. Fresh engine rebuild, serious power. 10 second car I hear, blew his manifold in the first race. Bet that stung.
