Haven't we only started getting the hot Fords here again within the last few years? Not much to compare it to.

I really liked the original focus SVT, it felt 100% European.

Later this year we are going to see the new 325hp Fusion Sport and next year the new Raptor and Ford GT.

I watched Matt Farrah's review on One Take's YouTube channel. He did an intercooler upgrade with tuning (boost increase) and gained 80hp and 100 ft/lb. Increase started down low with no dip below stock. Impressive.

Pretty similar for the fiesta and focus ST. Just a tune and simple bolt ons transforms the car insanely.
Don't think I could ever go back to owning an NA car

And similar to the Ecoboost mustang. An ecu flash nets you an easy 80-100 ft/lb of torque and about 20-30 hp. I've been tempted to flash mine, but I went with extended warranty and don't want to void it should anything happen to my engine .

We still have 3 in our order bank for 2017 and have our fingers crossed that we will get a second one this year. Rumour has is that the RS will now be available in 2018 and the availability will go from 1 per dealer to hopefully 3-5 depending on location and how many pre-orders they have. Essentially building what is ordered.
Just to light the fire a bit. Looks like the RS500 will be making a return in 2018 with the same 2.3L engine but tuned to just under 400hp. Along with the HP bump it will be a lighter car all around. Lets just hope it will come to North America.  | |

Someone down the street from my work has a blue RS that he parks on the street. Shame he's already smashed the left front of it.
