Thanks for the info! Sold my Focus ST and I picked up the SHO. I like the SHO a lot! I know it will never handle like a Focus ST, I just wish it handled a little better than it does now. Hoping the PP springs along with struts/shocks help it out.
Sure it will...
I suspect size and weight skews the handling "feeling"
Lets compare...
ST
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 6.3 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 17.3 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 38.7 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 7.1 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 8.2 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 6.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.9 sec @ 94 mph
Top speed (drag limited, C/D est): 150 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 186 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.87 g
PPSHO
Zero to 60 mph: 5.2 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 13.0 sec
Zero to 140 mph: 32.3 sec
Rolling Start, 5-60 mph: 5.6 sec
¼-mile: 13.8 sec @ 102 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 141 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 168 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.86 g
So the SHO trounces the ST on everything but the skidpad with a whopping .01 difference
A set of springs and some stickier tires should fix that.
