Just about everything was! As Clarkson said, it was foggy and greasy. It's supposed to lap the Nurburgring quicker than the FRS, so I can't imagine it's as slow as that lap time suggests :?

In then real world of dc blasts and so on i reckon the st would beat the cup. :shock: I mean... 2.5 turbo from a volvo :twisted:

its a slightly restricted t5 engine from what im told, would be faster then a cup if both run at same time same conditions imo, i quite like them to, but hate them wheels !

I think that the T5 engine in a Volvo produces 250BHP....they are getting torqe steer at 220!....Trophy v ST would be interesting, although in fairness many of the 10 yr old Williams on here can match 6.5 and 150!

I would be more interested in it if I thought it really would beat a Williams point to point over the truly twisty stuff...if not spend 4K and save 16 :shock:

Looked ok, bit gay for me, or perhaps it was just the colour.!
I prefer the astra VXR, and who cares what Oaf Clarkson says anyway!
ST sounds too much like STD for me.

ST=Shit tip IMO. Wouldn't be seen dead driving a ford. 2.5l turbo engine, christ. Would expect better 0-60 than 6.5. Must be a heavy mother for a mid size hatch.

I know he said it was greasy but I`ve never heard tyres screech sooo much on a greasy surface...and he said that it still gripped very well in the wet earlier in his review....

Yeah, that is pretty shit come to think of it. Typical Ford then - about 10bhp underpowered :roll:

I wonder if it still gives off that Ford smell of burning oil?

Oh my god matey. You hit the nail on the head there. They all seem to smell like burning oil or wd40 inside
