Ford finally built a car that i would be interested in and they are not even selling them un the U.S. The Ford Focus RS is a 215hp turbocharged 2.0L inline four. It has an iron block, aluminum head, intercooler, brembo brakes all around, tuned suspension, and an interior designed by sparco. It rides on 18" OZ wheels and its friggin badass looking.

 

yeah, i saw the car too. it was in SCC i think, right? i don't understand car companys marketing all the "good" cars in europe. maybe it's b/c the average us driver doesn't care about performance of any sort. just as long as they can get to the NASCAR roundy round boring, eat hot dogs all day race. most american motorsports suck when compared to those found through out europe and asia. and motorsports obviously has something to do with the production of cars, thus the ford rally car look-a-like. if only WRC was as big in the States...

yeah, they do have to make cars for their target market. That car is the first focus I'd actually want to see. No offense focus rivers. The car was in Car and Driver I think, but it could have been SCC I read that mag mainly for the rally reviews.

 

yeah it may have been Car and Driver. did you see the article on Prodrive in the feb. SCC??? damn, how much would i love to work there!! building $500K+ rally cars... my dream job!

and about the focus, yeah i would love to see the car. i really don't like fords, but seeing as its european its not as bad!!
