Ford Focus 1.6 - 145 mph!!!!!

andygb

Whilst walking around our local "Chav haven" this lunchtime, I fear that I may have overheard a relation of one of the posters on here.

A couple of young gentlemen (?) were walking behind me, and one said to the other, in a rather splendid Estuarine dialect:
"I woz bommin' daan the mo'way last night, an' I got it up to 145 in 6th wiv the cruise control on. It woz well mental"
"Not the Focus"
"Yeah man, the 1.6, wiv a ST exhaust on it"

So from this, all I can surmise, is that all you need to go 30 mph faster is a sports exhaust, preferably one which has not been designed for your car.
As soon as I get the word on the street, on how to modify a 2.5 Mondeo, so that it will do 170 mph, I shall report back.
In the words of Ali G - "Keep it real"

Has to be an automatic though, one of those wonder Ford autoboxes that NEVER break.... ever....

Some cars have standard speedometers that cater for all models in the range. Generally the older the car the less accurate the speedo reading. For instance I had a Golf GTi about 20 years ago. Top speed was 119 mph and I got a reading of 140 on a downhill stretch of an autobahn.

If I was there I would of turned round, and say that unlike the lies about his Focus, my Focus will actually go 145 mph, lol.

Wonder what his face would of been like.
