Cool... but that's what you get with a $105,000 US Focus

That 5.0 fits quite nicely into the bay. Just pray you never have to fit anything wide in around it... like a razor blade

actually when sport compact car did a review of the RS8, they had some overheating problems and the car comes with no power steering.

just no room for some things (like cooling and power steering)..

They have all the numbers in the magazine and the RS8 is faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile, but i don't care if its faster it way too cool to worry about that stuff

0-60 = 4.4 sec, 1/4 mile = 12.7 @ 113.7


And as far as track performance it actually beat the Gallardo
at Willow Springs RS8 = 1:32:43 vs Gallardo = 1:33:42

The RS8 also beat the Gallardo through the slalom (2.1 mph quicker)

We had the same problem about 10 years ago in a Windstar with a Lincoln Continental 4.6 and some other goodies in it. Could only 'cruise' Woodward for a few runs and then had to let it cool off for at least an hour.
Needless to say, Ford never put it into production :o
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
