Re: All we have now is the 2016 Ford RS

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.

Re: All we have now is the 2016 Ford 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.
