The lucky few who lives near this no speed limit highway can legally open up the Focus Rs and that's what this driver did. A lot quieter than I thought it would be in the cabin but it must sound amazing on the outside.
From what I can see, he went up to 200km/h and more.
When it comes to running your buddies or random people on the highway or even the street, this does help to see how it would react from a rolling start. I have a feeling off the line we might get some traction issues, could take a few launches to find where it will stick all the way through.
Definitely, with these you'll have to slip the clutch to launch it from a dig. But my biggest concern is if we're able to brake boost it for the rolling runs. I know the newer vehicles have an electronic cut-off for that and they don't allow you to do it.
I think that is to be expected given what the wheelbase is like, weight and just knowing what the overall purpose for the RS was. If it was something compact like a Mini then maybe you'd have that feeling making you worry at those high speeds.
