what the chance of that, with a "too efficient" stock IC?

I never heard such a bogus claim before. Not a good story from ford, kind of shame though.

you posted the same question to my reply to your original question... it's... like... timewarp. LOL

their story is better than, "we had to up the intake temps to burn off condensation that occurred due to a flaw in the design".

Mountune has a RS now and they are starting to look through it.

Apparently the RS has some nifty brake air guides:

As do other cars. Sorry, I thought this was a thread to post Focus RS content.

I'll try to refrain and let you guys get back to discussing stupid things again.

At least you didn't point out the stamped steel suspension arms and then dismiss the rest of the car because of it.

naw... I was expecting stamped steel suspension arms in this car... I'd be surprised if they were aluminum at this price point

Heavy car is heavy. The video of the Golf R walking away from it says it all.

DSG is fast. The RS can still boogie with its manual.

It's also worth noting that it is the Mercedes that blows the doors off the other cars. The Golf R is just ahead of the RS.
