How much of the street drivetrain and electronics remain for the Focus RS? I assume not much but just wondering.

 

Ford expanding the excitement...away from sad, lonely would-be Focus RS owners? I think they realized that performance is a pretty good niche compared to the other major manufacturers. Maybe they intend to always keep the Focus RS slightly scarce?

Has availability become more consistent or predictable on this side of the pond?

I guess depending on what he charges (edit:$499 fee) I might think about that because talking to car dealers is the least favorite thing I have to do.

 

I'd assume it's still very much a street car, that "rally" really isn't a "race", it's a glorified scavenger hunt.

Looks like a lot of fun anyway. Wish I didn't have to do stuff like work or drive my car to work.

 

Some of us work and some figure out how to get other people to pay us while having fun. I figured this out after having worked all my life.

Take the cartalk channel on youtube. Consumer Reports buys and drives new cars. So, as an employee at their test track, your job is to take the car out on the track, take the car home, take the car to grandma's, take the car on vacation and get paid for it. And, its not that they aren't doing a public service but I admire the combination. Compared to that, most jobs stink.

"Oh Man -- that looks like pure performance right there!"

 

someone post some ridiculous sh*t we can all argue about... Rob you got anything?

 

Did they freeze both Mustang and Camaro production?

 

 

street race against the Ford Focus ST, inside car camera bad quality as usual.
Exhaust TBE, cold air intake, tune.
That would be real ridicilous for you ?

 

Wut.

 

yes, post it on youtube unlisted and pm all of us the link so the po po doesn't see it

 

both prolly getting a drift button

 

am I the only one that is annoyed by this guy (engineering explained)? he has a lot of vids with interesting topics. But every vid I've seen he tends to get super nerdy (which is fine) with one aspect while always leaving 2-3 gaping holes, usually relatively common sense ones (the wheel spacer one really got under my skin).

he also turns the wheel from the inside (see vid below at 3:25). in my book you need your car guy (or girl) card revoked if you turn like this on the street, you need to get kicked in the ***** (or ovaries) if you turn like this on the track

 

lol
maybe one time for you lol
