do we know if the CTR is direct injected? I know that is a barrier to modding for the Focus because of the fuel pressure requirements.

The CTR is indeed DI. As is the CSI.
It is still a barrier in the Ecoboost fords. You have to run secondary injectors with a rail and a weird piggyback that tunes all weird.
VW (And MazdaSpeed3/6) got away with it better because the cam driven HPFP was upgradeable.
It even limits my stock tiny **** turbo FiST. I can't run straight E85 without fuel pressure drop.

I Tell everyone if I bought any of the new cars out right now I would leave them stock. They always give me a hard time saying there's no way I would do that. The posts above are just one of the many reasons LOL
if I wanted another car to modify or race, I would get something older. I like the new cars because they perform well as-is and I don't have to touch a thing. Plus warranty.

I mean, people complained that the Evo 8 wasn't a pretty looking car. But holy moley, the CTR is the Evo's horrific looking parapalegic cousin.

The Evo X has aged pretty well. I think cars, over time, have moved towards the Evo X look.

I've seen dealers absolutely deny drivetrain warranties on 100% stock cars and claim any number of BS claims, its kind of seems you haven't been around various platforms and their car communities over the years, this is nothing new, owners almost always bite the bullet and replace/rebuild due to needing a running vehicle, I've also seen and they must be real hard up but folks trade it in and roll over the difference if the bank will allow the finance, usually more wiggle on a new car VS used that way.
