'15 GT or wait for Focus RS?

Interesting car comparison...I actually figured the RS coming here would without a doubt be AWD. It's a car DNA characteristic. I think you'll need to drive a GT to get a feel for the sight lines and experience. It would be such a big change from the RS. Those cars are impressive in their own right. However the size difference must be experienced rather than analyzed on paper specs. You can drive either in the snow with the appropriate tires. After a Mustang test drive, maybe it will be easier to compare. Good luck with your decision!

One of the best replies yet, thanks sir. I think you're right, it'll just come down to how I feel behind the wheel of each. All I know is I've never compared two vehicles like this but it's kinda fun getting perspectives and doing research, even though one of them isn't even in production yet ha.

I will actually be very shocked if the RS is FWD.

For the record, I am planning a little Detroit Auto Show meet-up for any Mustang6g members interested. Looking currently at Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015 as the date. Take a look at the first post in this thread.

Hmm, that day could work nicely...

Funny that's what all needle dicks say..


I think the Focus RS would make a compelling case against the Mustang GT. I would definitely consider one over a Mustang GT, definitely over a EB Mustang.

Another way to think of it that you probably can't go wrong picking either which is really awesome!

Actually I think you have it backwards (and if you know anything about human anatomy, length really is somewhat irrelevant given how short the canal is) - but I'm not going to dive into this conversation in the RS thread lol

I have both, still have a lot of love for my Focus too.

I would probably rather have even just a Focus ST over an EB Mustang. Not knocking anyone who has one at all, it's a great car but I just can't see myself behind the wheel of a 2 door 4 cylinder sports car. I know there are plenty of arguments to be had about this but I wouldn't feel right with a Mustang unless it had the full power of a V8.

So that's kind of why I'm limiting my options to the GT or RS. Even if for some odd reason the RS is FWD I will probably still consider it.

Spot on, they are (well assuming the RS will be ha) both phenomenal vehicles and like I've said it's a great time to live and have these vehicle choices.

See, this is the stuff I like hearing. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges in a sense with these two cars but I know there's gotta be some logical reason I like both. I'm glad you still love the Focus, both cars are just incredible.

The wife dailys the focus, it's pretty heavily modified, all in all, a great car. May end up paying it off and picking up an RS also.
