'15 GT or wait for Focus RS?

[Gryphon]

If I found a decent dealer I would buy an RS as a daily and a GT350R for a garage queen at the same time.

I'd do the same if I found... a hundred thousand dollars :lol:

Nah, the GT PP will do as a 'compromise' between those two.

Being serious. I can easily swing those payments.

Hey, more power to you! Rock on and go drive those beauties! :cheers: I'm just being equally serious for my own part

Except the ADM on a GT350R is already crazy, and the stealership told me they will have ADM on a RS, so the waiting game beings. But the RS is pretty sick.

Focus rs to have 350 hp and 350 lbft!

Prepare for ADM. Already been told that from multiple dealers.

At first there will be ADM, for the 2016 MY. The 2017 MY shouldn't have any ADM.

Weight is 1529 kg according to Ford of Europe. That's 3371 lbs.

Still not bad. Looks like they used a bigger turbo compared to the mustang ecoboost. If ford racing comes with a warranty friendly tune for the focus rs it would be really sweet! Go Focus!

No, I mean that's not bad at all. 9.6lb/hp, to be compared to the Mustang's 8.5lb/hp, but add some traction to this from the four wheel drive system and I can't see our ponies keeping up with this around a track, or in a short enough straight line to be honest.

It also gets better flowing heads and a larger intercooler. It'll be a 400-425whp stock turbo car. Much like an evo.

0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds with Lunch Control! This car will be my winter beater

I love hot hatches. This thing is crossing the line into hyper hatch. Ford did an excellent job. I will have to add this to the stable.

It won't be 400-425 whp stock. Ford has already announced it is 345 HP at the crank. No doubt with the right mods and tune it will get there, the Mustang 2.3t is already getting those numbers with bolt on mods.
