I am fucking astonished that a RWD Mercedes wagon did an 11.7! :shock:

I think if a turbo variant of the Porsche 911 was there, it would have been a serious contender.

EDIT: Eff that, the GTR in this vid has a LOT more power than any 911. I think a 911 Turbo "S" may have been a ball-hair behind the SLS Black, probably.

Ten secs for something you can just buy is pretty much unheard of, isn't it? ALTHOUGH, why weren't there any Corvettes in the mix!? They always punch seriously hard in these kinda races!

The real question is why did they throw the Ford Focus ST into the mix? It came dead last and was 2 seconds behind every other car. I already knew it was gonna get last after they showed the specs for it at the beginning, if you are the driver of it in that race, what exactly is going through your mind? "welp, I lost"

Yeah I thought it was a bit weird putting that in there as well.

It's a 2001 1.3 MK IV Ford Fiesta Flight, it's definitely not the most exciting car I viewed but it had just 1 previous owner, a full service history and 47k genuine miles on the clock. Given its age there are a couple of bodywork blemishes but overall it's in really nice condition.

According to Wiki you guys got the Mark I

Image

and the Mark V

Image

but I don't know how well they sold outside of Europe, it's my understanding that hatchback models weren't as common in America.

Image

This is the latest model, as you can clearly see it's virtually identical to mine.

Focus on left, Fiesta on right.

The Focus is a similar looking but longer car, we have those too. I was surprised to find out that the Focus RS is more or less banned in America.

Haha. It's fun to see people in other continents saying this. European Fords are totally different from yours #-o

Do you know the Ford Ka? LOL.

And for example, as far as I know, the Mustang is not a very expensive car in the US and here, in Spain, you have to pay... Well, take a look by yourself.
