How fast will C4 be?

[koko0703]

I think C4 will be fast enough to get Loeb in the title contention, but not so sure that it will be that dominant like Xsara in last 2 seasons. I think there will be good battles between Loeb and Macus followed by Petter and Mikko.

...
To sum up my guesswork: C4 is well competitive but not superior compared to others. Whether Loeb will win the championship withy it is down to him and down to reliability of the car.

Don't count out Dani Sordo !! :
The young Spaniard will hopefully show great things in his C4...

Citroen has tested C4 longer than Ford has tested Focus. .

Yes. Citroen have been testing the car for more than one year. But at the same time Ford have been running car in REAL rallies all that time, and that makes difference!

Both these cars (C4 and 307) have builded on same bottom construction (cannot recall the right word).

The word you are looking for is platform.

And I really hope that the C4 is not going to be as superior as Xsara has been. It would be nice to see some battles again.

On the other hand, I hope that Ford is not going to be dominant either.

My guess is that it will be a car which will takse some victories, but Ford and Subaru will battle for Title.

We shall see. I'm not expecting much, but he just might stir things up on some tarmac events... He needs more experience to be a real challenger on gravel, though, especially when it comes to fast events. But the potential is there...

As for my guess on the C4... I'd be surprised(and annoyed) if it turned out to be as dominant as the Xsara from get-go. But somehow I have a feeling it won't be as good as the Xsara, and Loeb will have a real challenge in defending his title.

I expect a fastar car than the Xsara and that's why i predict a victory on dry tarmac at Monte Carlo. I will be a shame to the others but Citroen usually does his homework correctly.

Did you remember when the Xsara WRC made his first WRC appearence? A completely new car in a completelly new environment. Now is a car that is an evelution from the winning Xsara and the environment is not god. Ahh and the driver... well the best at the moment?

Hope to be wrong to the interest of WRC...

I'm with whoever said if it's "only" as fast as the Xsara, Loeb will win his next WDC. I'll be amazed if it isn't at least as fast as the Xsara.

Ford were lucky that Loeb broke his arm. I'm happy for them that they managed to win something after so long, but they were lucky. If Loeb had still been driving they wouldn't have won the Manufacturers. So my prediction is Citroen....crickets....Ford/Subaru
