verano vs stage 3 focus st

[steveo17]

looks like it would be a pretty good race if a stage 2+ dsg ran the "stage 3" (?) ST

Hurray thread from the dead

Any 1/4 mile runs, ST owner? I'm interested because my cousin has the ST with I/DP/OTS tune and we haven't run yet. Details of my car in sig.

Why is the accord so fast with 274/238
It takes a k04 powered gti with dsg at over 300/300 to do those times
WTF?

Thanks but...most K04s trap over 108, not sure what you mean?

Ok that may have been a bad comparison
Let me try this
a stage 2 gti is around 260/290ish and are running low 14s
How the heck are you running 13.5 with just 10-15 more hp and a lot less tq?
Are the accords lighter than gtis or what?

A stage 2 GTI tuned correctly should run 13's all day long...

Turbo_Joe ran a 13.507 @102 with a Stage 2 MK6 with a 6spd on pump gas. There are several low 13 MKVs, but I figured a 6spd would be a better comparison.

Stock GTIs are running mid-14's on that list, and some of the Stage 1's broke into the 13's.

Accords (at least the last two generations) are nearly identical in weight.

Also, unless I completely missed it, we have no idea if that Accord ran on slicks/race gas/lsd/etc. Either way, a Stage 2 shouldn't have any issue running mid-13's unless the driver completely sucks at launching/shifting.

^ You still need a good driver to see mid 13s in a Stage 2 GTI, but yea, there have been plenty in that realm.

I was on DRs with no weight reduction, pump gas, no LSD and no tune. I've run an almost identical time on street tires though.

 

[Duster117]

Well ok then. I was under the impression that s2 gtis were low 14s cars....at least that's what I've been told.

Don't get me wrong, I love Buicks, my last 3 cars donned the Tri-Shield... But doesn't the rear-end on this thing look like a frowning old man?

The irony!

Just like any Buick since the mid 80s

Ok I saw that. Doesnt a stage 3 st make like 330whp? So ig you can smoke a 330whp on a stock car running e85. That st might want to find a new driver.

Read the 1st post...a stage 3 for a ST is tune, fmic, intake , TB and its stock K03 turbo...basically a gti stage 2 or 2+ equivalence.
