what do you think is the slowest car in the sport compact market?

Bump

 

wow, i didnt see the focus, i would have picked it.

 

alls I know is them RX8's are pretty quick!
but.. SS/SC FTW!

 

The ford focus may be slow I voted for it, but they handle like a dream or so i hear..at least the SVT focus's do.

 

That is a tough call as there are so many to choose from. I'll say a Mini Cooper S would probably be a walk in the park, as well as everyone's favorite Scion Tc.

 

i forgot about the mini. but note that the scion on the poll is with the TRD S/C on it

 

The Focus is a joke... especially now that the SVT is out of comission... it's not a Sport Compact at all.

 

i said the celica, they are slow as hell and jsut plain old ugly, oo and btw its Toyota, JUNK!!!

 

^who said anything about price range?

 

?? they only cost $23,000

 

^^x2^^

 

focus SVT has 170hp. more than others on that list, esp w/ the power/weight ratio.

 

I said the scion because last week i had a run-in with a turboed one on 9 pounds and he wanted to race so we went from a 40 roll and I put about 6-7 cars on him in a matter of two seconds he said he wanted to run again so he could "turn up the boost" and I just toyed with him hitting the gas then letting off. He then said you must be spraying your too fast so I just laughed at him and went about my business.

 

i heard that one before from an old guy in a 95 GT mustang

 

You should have said, the only thing I’m spraying is testosterone. Hahahaha

 

I should have said spraying is for bitches, because bottles run out... boost doesn't! And then as I was leaving should have gone *cough* your car sucks ***** *cough*

 

seems like the cobalt crew has owned quite a few focus's

 

hahaha.. true.

 

The focus SVT has been out of production since like 2004... I wouldn't count it.

 

^^ that car dosen't have a better ratio than any of the others.. not as far as i know anyway. don't they run like 15.5 on a good night?

 

If I remember correctly, motor trend tested both the last production SVT focus to a 2005 base line focus. They had similar performance rating with the baseline focus having the edge.

 

 

no doubt about the focus. slowest one of them all. but you forgot about the ford sho... all turbo but no go. raced one in my 2.2. he jumped first had a good lead but i caught up to him like nothing.......

 

I havnt encountered a focus.. But I owned an Eclipse Yesterday, and a Tiburon.
Has anyone raced an RX8 I heard they are quick!
And has anyone raced the fastest model Eclipse?
J/w?

 

You could put the current ZX4 Focus on that list, since it's still in production, and only a hair slower than the old SVT model (in a straight line, anyway). Even still, it would be the slowest, and least powerful, on that list, followed by the Celica.
