Hey All!
The Road & Track issue with the Enzo Ferrari on the cover has been out for several weeks now but I just picked up a copy and was pretty shocked at what I saw.
I guess Ford (probably their SVT division) is getting set to give the STI and the Evo some serious competition. They're bringing the Cosworth here which is basically this:

A Ford Focus
300+ hp (should be around 325 or more)
6 speed transmission
AWD
Body cladding
Sport suspension, wheels, etc

And....it will be priced several thousand $ more than the STI. It looks like the rally wars for us comsumers is off to a great start! But, the sad part for me is is although I bought an STI and love it, I've always loved the way a rally ready Ford Focus hatchback looks. Guess I love them big 'ol hatchback butts! lol

Oh well....I guess I'll never be truly happy with any car as long as new cool models keep coming out like they have the past few years.

Any opinions on this new Focus on Roids?

Being that I get a discount on all fords/madzas cause of the A plan (family in the business), I'm not sure what to do.

 

dayyyum

to Ford for stepping up to the plate

 

Yeah, we got the X-plan here at work. I believe it means dealer cost plus a little. Can't wait to see the thing at the dealerships.

 

just called ford's svt plant and its a lie

If you don't believe me call them yourself: 1-800-367-3788
