I'm very tempted to buy this car

Postby aTahmission » August 23rd, 2015, 4:25 pm

I've always been a fan of rally and, naturally, hot hatchbacks. I see that Ford is finally bring the RS to 'Merica, and it's better than I had any right to expect: 345 bhp, 324 lb/ft of torque and a controllable all wheel drive system with torque vectoring. Sure it looks a bit "boy racer", but this thing will eat STI's for lunch and floss it's teeth with EVO's. What say you VLE. Would a man in a suit look out of place swinging a foot out of this car?

I didn't read all that and I am sure it is a different spec'd car, but I rent a car three times a month. They give me whatever I want, with my specific instructions of "anything but a Ford Focus".

The standard Focus is my favorite small car, but the RS is anything but a standard Focus. This is basically today's version of an Escort Cosworth. It's the small super-sport Ford is so renown in Europe for that we in the states have been clamoring for. The last time I was in Switzerland one of my counterparts had the RS using the 2.5 liter Volvo engine. An impressive car, but this is taking the RS to a completely different level.

I think the RS would be a much more fun car than a mustang. Also, it should the 'stang the beans. Same 2.3 liter engine, but higher output.

Only available in a 6-speed manual. :up This is a driver's car, like an M3. The difference being that I can afford an RS.

yeah I've got my eyes on a 911 turbo. Wont be able to afford it until im damn near 40.. hopefully prices will come down on the used ones. Because they got rid of the manual transmission which is fucking retarded.

The 911 turbo S is something we should all aspire to. I do like high-performance cars that are practical, daily drivers, though. I can use an RS year-round in Connecticut, which is important.

Every drive a 911? One of the worst rides I've ever been in, drove like a damn go kart. It's no wonder Paul Walker died in one. :sadyes

:ays ?????????? My Cousin had a 911... not a turbo.... but still a sweet fucking car and all sorts of fun. Way more fun than the Tesla which accelerates faster with is little electric motor. But the Turbo is all wheel drive, I'm sure it drives wonderful. And no I've never driven a 911 turbo but they are sweet as fucking shit. Of course if I could have any porsche it would be a carrera GT but I've got to aim a little lower than that :(

also i'm not sure why driving like a go kart is a bad thing... ? go karts are fun as fuck as long as they are fast enough that you can't just mash the gas pedal the whole time.
