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.

Ford said they would bring us 12 new sport vehicles by 2020. This year we have seen the GT350R, Focus RS, Explorer Sport and the new 400hp/400tq Linclon MKZ refresh. Later this year we are going to see the new 325hp Fusion Sport and next year the new Raptor and Ford GT.

Right, but that doesn't help us judge how well a used hot Ford will hold its value in North America.

I agree that they look boy racer but at least now boy racer cars are actually fast. Before it used to be appearance packages that could get smoked by minivans.

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 .

Each dealer was allocated one per year. We just got our 2017 RS which is getting picked up as a type this. 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.
