All we have now is the 2016 Ford RS

[dogwhistle]

The new Speed 3 is supposedly going to be AWD. And after driving a friend's hatchback 3 with a 6 speed manual and all the goodies along with coilovers, I was blown away at how well it did. It would be my first choice but a focus RS would be quick to follow WELL before Subaru.

Iam a chevy guy at heart. But I think ford is going to my next choice in cars. They seem to look for new ways in the automotive industry. Like the ecoboost truck. One awesome truck amd it has a v6 that does alot better then the v8s. With that being said I think the focus rs well be a amazing car. They can make good power on stock long block. Iam sure ford will pave the way with the focus rs.

I want to believe that the rs will be the front runner among its peers and the key to all of this is be the most capabable and robust to handle modifications. The big thing here is I'm not satisified with the factory offering, of any of these cars. The handeling and braking is good but for me overall power and acceleration sucks. I drove a bone stock 10 a couple of years ago and if i didnt know how much even a tune woke them up I would have never even considered it as a possibility for me.

Yeah but look at the cars you've been driving the past couple years. No car seems the same anymore. My 450whp Evo feels slow compared to the GTR so I cant imagine how you feel in your cars vs stock Evos/etc.

Alpha have you never heard of the Cosworth Escort or RS200?

Ford has been in WRC since the 70's. I guess that's all a pretty new concept though.

This is really going to be a sweet car! I hope they jazz up the gauges a bit though.

I hope they don't offer a dual clutched auto for it. Keep it as a normal auto trans or manual please. THE Ecoboost do great with tunes, F150's,with a programmer haul ass it is silly. I'd like to see a modded 2.7 ecoboost truck, I bet it would haul ass. Not to mention knowing the warranty side from being a Ford service advisor, some upgrades are still covered by warranty. Enjoy!
