E30 Focus ST vs Stock Veloster N | Roll Races

Some more rolls between the 2017 Focus ST and the 2021 Veloster N. The ST just got retuned by Stratified on e30 and the Veloster N is stock. Pretty good runs overall. The ST clearly has a ton of torque down low and jumps pretty hard at the start of most rolls. The Veloster N has such a constant torque curve it catches up in 4th.
The ST definitely needs new tires (about 3mm of tread left on the factory tires), this will most likely be the next purchase for the car and we will re-run them again to see any differences!
The ST intercooler was not heat soaked if anyone is curious - I monitor the charge temps on the pulls and everything is good. It's running the Mishimoto FMIC with upgraded charge pipes.
Mods on the Focus:
COBB Cold Air Intake, Borla Catback Exhaust, Cobb Accessport, Stage 2 Tune on 91 Octane, Mishimoto Front Mounted Intercooler, Turbosmart BOV, Rally Innovations Front Splitter 3-Piece Matte Black Aluminum, Fully Torqued Racing adjustable splitter support rods 7.5-9.25in with upgraded hardware, RokBlokz Mudflaps in Orange, DMB UK Replacement ST Badges (in gloss orange), Velossa Tech Big Mouth Snorkel in Orange, Boosted Designs ST Dead Pedal, Option Lab 10 Spoke Onyx White Wheels 18x8.5 40mm offset, Velossa Tech Wing Riser Kit with Orange Spacers. Geartronics Dynamic Blinker Led Turn Signal Lights Smoked. ACCELATEC Sound Symposer Delete Kit with boost port option. 3/16 inch inner diameter heat resistant vacuum tubing routed to a true vacuum source. Lamin-X Fog Light Covers - Amber, Gel Badge Australia Ford Emblem Badges in Orange Lettering. COBB Accessport Mount.

Don't think the bike knew you guys were gonna do a pull, and wasn't expecting someone to come flying up his ass at double the speed limit.

[@andrewmackey6185]

Very true - glad nothing happened

[@jonidontknow]

The cars are much closer now!!!

[@DaBish84]

Good content guys!
For tire suggestion I’ve been driving on BFGoodrich g-force comp 2’s for a couple months and so far I love them! Previously I had Bridgestone Potenza’s and those were very poor in wet conditions, overall not as impressive as the BFGoodrich.

[@andrewmackey6185]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation :)

[@hunter-pg6ei]

Love the g force comp2s

[@bryanciiofilmz1410]

Try doing the 40 roll in 2nd gear! you’re letting the st go out in front just by being in a higher gear and lower rpms. Good runs though

[@xlr8jaeger]

I’m torn. I had my ST1 which got totaled. Then some dude found it in a junk yard, rebuilt it, and made it an st3. Long story short I saw it on Facebook for sale with my same custom sticker on it and bought it for 12k. With todays market. I was offered 21k for a trade in. I have considered trading for a 2022 Veloster n. Or put 10k into the st and go big turbo. Idk how the Veloster mods are. Ends up being seem price in the end.

[@freshMila]

What a cool race 👏

[@Ryan96se]

I noticed boost gage on ST only going half way. Thought with E30 it would peg that thing. Something doesn't seem right. Almost appears the ST is running stock boost

[@Jtboffroad]

That guy on the bike isn’t to fond of living

[@andrewmackey6185]

Agreed.

[@dham99]

i have a 2016 FoST ST1, FBO/e30. I can assure you even with decent tires, anything in second and even third is useless...i get tire spin at 40, 50, 60, doesnt matter. My guess is Im around 440-450+ torque...300+fwhp...so we have a great set up on a track and the back roads, but our quick spool and lots of torque dont do us much on the highway in high-speed drags. I definitely want more top end but dont want to change up the stock fueling at this time... good pulls though, its good to see where you're at for a baseline, then see how the upgrades help out!

[@kingGfour]

No way your focus makes 300whp on stock turbo max 270-280

[@dham99]

@@kingGfour plenty of people have, fbo with E30. It’s the absolute max though. Many do only get 280’ish, but they’re higher elevation, on 93, crappy tunes, etc. but the k03 is capable of putting out 300whp

[@kingGfour]

Ive seen fbo tuned ko3s lose to 270whp

[@jdog_st1462]

Focus needs the big turbo!!! It makes a night and day difference!!

[@Bildevoful]

It's 2022 and people are still attaching splitter rods to plastic focus bumpers.

[@jaytroyer9996]

Hr was thinking he was racing too lol

[@andrewmackey6185]

Yeah, I almost ran him over lol

[@jayvin_2169]

Pilot sport 4s are great. But I know there are others just as good or better

[@Chrislav7]

Lies

[@jayvin_2169]

@@Chrislav7 what do you recommend?

[@andrewmackey6185]

I'd like to know as well. Trying to get as many recommendations as possible! Thanks guys :)

[@thomasferguson139]

I love how these guys call somebody stupid (motorcycle guy) when they're filming roll races for UA-cam in city streets with traffic, intersections and red lights going over 100mph.... instead of doing it on a freeway or interstate

[@jordanmaravilla5094]

Is that Veloster n manual or dct?

[@andrewmackey6185]

Manual!

[@trentmclellan1037]

Cmon man you do a 40 roll in 2nd not 3rd

[@ricardovalencia1790]

You should start from a lower gear to get better acceleration

[@getk0ed]

Still pulling to redline I see lol....gotta shift at 5500 brotha

[@bryanwoods949]

nah bro you got it all wrong, mud flaps = 25 hp MINIMUM and at least -20 drag coeffecient

[@josephparker9726]

N smokes st stock vs stock

[@andrewmackey6185]

Agreed lol

[@TheTortuga58]

Why are you starting at 3000rpm? Worthless comparison.

[@tfailor9248]

God st driver needs better shifting skills. Good races though
