Can the BBR-tuned Mazda MX-5 Turbo overhaul the mighty Ford Focus ST? Mark Tisshaw takes to Cadwell Park to find out Technomancer: It doesnt even look like the guy in the Focus is even trying to catch the MX.
I have an ST, so i know how much it screams around corners, not to mention the MX driver cant seem to get a good line and stick to it.
This video saddens me about both cars. and the fact it seems like a lengthy ad for BBR's turbo kit.

That's funny, i noticed the same thing, but clearly there is no making sense of this kind of garbage. There must be some wacked out producer at Autocar who insists on doing these completely irrelevant comparisons. refer back to the GTR vs M5 and then 911 GT3 RS vs the McLaren MP4-12C.

Unfair comparo. Miata weigh much less and is rear wheel drive with a turbo vs focus that is fwd and much heavier. Mountune doesn't really increase too much HP/tq. It's a very mild tune that's warranted via ford.
reply

Stats on the ST is actually incorrect. It has 252hp and 270tq. in US spec, British version is even less. And a tuned car vs. a stock car is hardly a -comparison-. A tuned Stage 3 Focus would smokes that Miata

Dude! Is that the 2. 0L miata! I've been looking for a turbo manifolds for months and haven't seen one! Can you maybe send me a link or help me contact these guys?
reply

Only -men- who need to act and look tough and drive a piece of shit pick-up to hide the fact they are insecure little boys on the inside.
reply

I wouldn't mind the version with the metal roof and i'm a man, though i'd get an RX8 before one anyway, if i could afford a second car: ).
reply

Megane RS with a chip. would give the mazda mx5 a proper run. infact it, ll beat it for less money thn the mazda and the ford.
reply

front mid mounted rear wheel drive with lsd, close ratio gearbox & power to weight ratio = bye bye Mountune Focus! CASE CLOSED
reply

I thought the corners are where the MX5 should have been pulling away from the focus! The cornering looked poor, but fun!
