Integ Ls vs. Ford Focus, who wins?

K2sInteg98 · 01-15-2005, 12:03 AM

This one guy at school wants to race me in his focus. I wasnt sure if i would be able to win because u kno how gay domestics always have their torque. I looked up focuses and this guy has a SE, which i think is 130hp and 137or something torque. He has an exhaust, large mass air flow censor and changed gear ratios. I have a stock integ. Both cars are automatic. Do you think i would stand a chance? He said he has the focus ztec thing, i guess thats some kind of wannabe vtec. I have no idea, i dont know anything about domestics. what do you guys think will be the end results, cuz i dont want to race and lose to a focus, that would be embarrasing.

it would be close off theline but you should take him hands down

kornflakes28546 · 01-15-2005, 09:14 AM

you should definitely win... go for it and shut him up

well i have done this before. I raced a focus with my LS. I had at the time skunk2 intake manifold, short ram, and a 50sht of NOS. O yeah falken azenas. I had to hit the NOS right out of first gear. With them tires i just locked and went. I took him buy like a car. So if you don't have the NOS or some major up grades you may not win. It's realy about the driver. good luck

I don't think that the focus was stock then, because I rode in a friends focus and I consider it one of the guttless cars I have ever been in. MAybe b/c it was an automatic but still way slow. Actually I have even raced a focus SVT and really it was quite quick but I still beat him by close to 2 car lengths. I would say that if it is just a stock Focus SE and that Integra is stock and a 5 speed you should have no problem winning. That is if you are a good driver

He has an automatic, doesn't take much skill to drive that. Press on pedal and go?

Ford Focus SE = 136hp Torque= 133
LS = 142hp Torque= 127 ( this is if you have a g3 teg)

I don't know the weight of either off the top of my head. Just race and see who wins.

Which car is an auto, the integra or the focus? If the Integra is an auto and the focus is an manual then the focus might come out the winner and vise versa.

from what I'm looking at.. the focus SE has 110hp and 125tq. If this is the case.. I think the teg will win definitely.

Twizted_3KGT · 01-15-2005, 08:35 PM

Teg wins...easily...I had this race w/ a '92 LS vs. '02 Focus...both 5-speed...I was playin with him while he was flooring it, and then decided to leave him and the Cavalier, who was also racing, behind me.

K2sInteg98 · 01-15-2005, 08:54 PM

yes both cars are automatic. I was driving behind him one day and i noticed the SE label. He would have changed it but i dunno why he would do that. He said he has ztec, which i dunno if the SE model has, n e one know?? He has more torque so he would prolly beat me off the line, but do u think he would stay ahead. I was thinking that i would beat him at top end, cuz my redline is prolly more then his. Whats the redline at on a focus?? but then again, would his redline changes since he changed his gear ratios?

Mannyb18b · 01-15-2005, 11:57 PM

no. gear ratios have nothing to do with where your redline is

K2sInteg98 · 01-16-2005, 11:17 AM

i think ima go and race this guy. Hes always tryin to show off and always revs his engine in front of me. He needs to be tought a lesson, not to mess with a teg, lol. Ill keep u posted on results. If his car is 110 hp 125 lbs then i would definately win, like 2 cars

kornflakes28546 · 01-16-2005, 03:22 PM

focus are POS just like neons, you'll beat him... just keep us posted on how bad you won.
