[cornflakes]

i don't know about this new Focus RS but the original one back in 2004 (i think) when tested on the race track with STI and EVO it was just as fast. Not as fast straightaway but in the turns and curves the focus rs made up the time. It was a cornering demon.

It's still way to late to bring the focus rs into NA markets now to compete with sti and evos. I've said it like a million times and i'll say it again, it's poor timing. Focus RS 04 should have been here in 2004 and i guarantee you the focus rs would have been a household name like evo and sti with car enthusiasts. It's a little late to bring it over now the focus along with the whole company of FORD has really lost credibility. I like some of the new plans they are making but still nothing promising for NA. It's time to bring over the VERVE sport coupe!
