Focus ST= Slow Turd

[BigJimMs3]

It's much slower than my speed but looking at the 1/4 time slips for speed3's I'm right in the same ballpark with speed3's with way more mods lol So im happy as hell.

13.6, yes you need a BT at a minimum to hit those kind of times on da speeds.

No you don't.

It almost makes sense to just go big BT first. $2k on bolt-on ATP kit + tuning will put you at around 320 hp. You have to tune to get any meaningful benefits out of any of the other upgradse anyway and the stock fuel system is robust enough to handle it.

Won't dispute that i have had about as many trips to the track as you have fingers in the past year. No skill. But my car doesn't need more power to achieve faster times.

@Smelson; broke 12's on k04 with similar mods.

Is it safe to assume that you would need a BT (BNR S3 at a minimum) to run 13.6 ???

That's one way but would cost alot more.

Practice, weight reduction, and track tune would be the other.

No, lot's of people have gotten into the mid to upper 13's with bolt-ons and tunes. A few bone stocks have gotten into high 13's (perfect weather/conditions/elevation)

Here at the auto club speedway in Fontana DA is always 2500+ no track prep and at a slight incline i see bolted/tuned ST's run mid 14s. The quickest one ran a 13.6 @ 106 on a GT28, not that impressive if you ask me.

[Neverlift]

I recall a stock MS3 running a 13.8-9 back in the day @ Fontana. It was a red Gen1, and some total faggot who can't drive named Philly did the run.

I'm .5 seconds behind you with about 20% the mods you have.... lol What I have noticed that most ST drivers are awful drivers. Most of them are coming from old focus or svt and its their legit first "fast" car.

LMAO!!!! At you trying to compare your sea level track to ours down here!!!!!!!

Stock 5.0's run 13.5's out here!

Sorry to burst your bubble but you would have a 14+ second car out here....

HAHAHAHAHAHa...........

And as far as driver mod is concerned how do you explain a BT ST trapping 106??????
The more you spin the higher you trap! SLOW = SLOW

That's a full race prep car though. The one I'm talking about still has an interior, and doesn't change the tires when he takes it to the track. In fact, I believe he only takes the loose stuff out of the back, leaving the spare in as well. If he stripped it and put wrinkle walls on it, hed be deep into the 12s by now.

Edit: DA at my track here is almost always 5kft +

DA usually is anywhere between 1500-2000 in the summer around here. HE PROB SUCKS AT DRIVING! He trapped 2mph faster than me! He needs to learn how to drive because I bet hes not dealing with 350tq at 2500rpm. IDGAF what stock does out there pussy dont be upset that your full modded 320hp speed3 is .5 seconds faster than a st with 2 bolt ons and a tune.

I have a buddy here that has went 12.9's on factory tires. @Livingframe; Believe he has cut numerous 1.9 sixties, so he is well above the norm for street tire guys.

Thats my goal to cut a 1.9 lol So far my best on street tires is a 2.0 consistent 2.1 area though. Hard to do on a normal street night.
