maddog1982 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hey guys I'm Matt. Currently drive a 2008 focus ST3 running full stage one mods around 280/290hp and 300+ ft pounds of torque. I'm interested in having a change and a 350 z really ticks the box! I test drove the above car yesterday and loved it, it had this forums sticker on it and wondered who's it was. It's a silver 58 plate GT fully loaded with sat nav, would of done the deal if they hasn't offered me 8.5k for mine!! Anyone else had a focus and made the swap? When I started the car it sounded immense, very aggressive with a lovely burble, is this normal? Looked like a standard exhaust to me! Thanks Matt Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Welcome to the forum, quite a few members have previously had the Focus ST... 1 Quote
maddog1982 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 I couldn't get a proper feel for the car as it was such a short test run, the engine felt so smooth, might miss the surge of power my focus gives but the noise should make up for it! Quote
A9H-RX Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Zed is the only V6 noise I like. Very aggressive compared to others.. Normally they sound quite tinny IMO in other cars. With the right exhaust you can get them sounding sweet as a nut Edited July 28, 2013 by A9H-RX Quote
Arran Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 The Z delivers it's power in a very linear fashion so it may never feel like it's punching but look down at the speedo and prepare to say sorry officer You'll live the switch to a z it's a unique ownership experience Have a listen to some of the exhausts that are available and you'll soon forget the St, mine has a great sounding setup imo if your interested take a look in my journal for videos Quote

rabbitstew Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I remember first firing up my 313 zed when I got that, with stock exhaust. It sounded awesome. Esp the increased idling speed when its cold. It used to always make me smile in anticipation of that drive. 1 Quote
