Saw your post on facebook last night (and some of the comments lol)

No doubt they're good fun cars, but I thought i'd see you in something else with twice the cylinders...I assume you're planning to track it more than the VXR8 ?

With a little tweak from Mountune you can get them to 210bhp or so and still be warranty compliant I believe.

I am a big fan of this vintage Fiesta ST. Light, good power, lovely supportive seats.

If they did a RS it would most probably be sat on my driveway (well technically it would be sat in my parking space at work right now). I'm seriously considering the Focus RS.

I'm waiting for the real RS Focus road test reviews and have priced up my preferred config. But everything so far has been Ford corporate spin.
I'm liking the spec but so far video's don't really promote the sound/pops/bangs too well and the fact they state they had to push the envelope of the engine to get the performance concerns me about tunability.

ST Fiesta come well rated from all reviews that I pay attention too, so I hope the RS Focus does too. The ST Focus I test drove 3 months back didn't float my boat though.

Not sure if I'm gonna track it but would think it's a lot of fun on track

The mountune package is good but you can get a lot more out of these engines

Maybe I will get another V8, at least you gave me a year as someone on fb said within 6 months lol
