This little beast of a Ford Focus RS took off just right from a dig! The AWD system can put the power down so good, as the big V8 engine struggles for some traction. The 4 cylinder turbo setup in this Focus shows us what it’s all about and in the past few years it really made a name for itself on the streets as well as the race tracks. In the night street race, the Chevy Camaro had to try to hook but this nasty Ford Focus RS has no difficulties with that. In this dig and roll race, the Chevy Camaro is a bit more at home and can really show its might on the top end of things.

What was once an entry-level commuter car designed to be affordable and reliable has now transformed into something that the former self wouldn’t even recognize at all.

In this case, we get a hold out on a new Ford Focus RS in bone stock shape, heading out to the streets to see how far will it go facing some heavy competitors such as the Chevrolet Camaro SS which is also boasting with few bolt on modifications and a nice tune to tip the scales even further.

Now on paper, to the untrained eye, this race might seem as a clear victory for the big bad V8 engine, but what you’ll see unfolds a totally different story as the two cars line up from a dig and then the stock Ford Focus RS completely takes off on the fifth generation Chevy Camaro without even bothering to look back at its opponent as it drives away more and more with every moment passed.

Take a look at the video below to see how this race goes down which is followed up by a roll race that evens out the result just a little bit. We have to admit we were very pleasantly surprised with how the Ford Focus RS managed to hold its own against the proud American muscle car having many more cubic inches of displacement.
