i dont think you need to imagine too hard.. think of a volvo S40 T5 AWD with 60 more hp, different springs, dampers and tires and that's pretty much the new focus RS

that isn't getting me that psyched up.. what am i missing?

i have tried a car with a part time awd setup (sube forester auto) that is similar to the haldex part time setup that the S40 (and presumably the RS) has.. it was really weird.. in hard cornering i could feel the weight transferring on/off to the rear wheels and it was really messed up. i just can't imagine taking that setup in hard driving
