'15 GT or wait for Focus RS?

[TheDivaDanielle]

I just don't understand why Ford made the RS into a limited build. I can see if they took the "focus" out of the equation, made it into a whole new car, then I can see just the moniker RS being something special. I mean, its not like we haven't seen this before. Focus RS always been mass produced in Europe for ages and we are getting the same 2.3 mustang engine just with a different turbo and reworked intake..we always had the evo, STi, and Golf R. I don't know.... The more I think about this I'm glad I just got the eb mustang. I just can't see myself paying over $40k for this. I bet you after the initial year run Ford will mass produce the focus RS. Why wouldn't they? We have other car companies that are releasing compact turbo awd and I'm sure Ford will like to stay relevant but who knows.

the MkI and the MkII Focus RSs were also pretty limited production wise. this isn't a new thing.

I just want 800whp. Is that too much to ask?

I guess that depends on which car you want to do it in.

Haven't decided that yet lol. It'll be a while tho. Baby steps!

I've been on my quest for 700whp for about 5 years. Unfortunately I've been on pause for the past three years living in Japan.

I feel ya there. I'd LOVE to live in Japan for a year or so. There are so many excellent car choices over there that we do not get to enjoy (legally) over here. It's not fair. I envy you, sir.

Don't tease or lie to me, please. That's one of my all-time favorite imports. I'd take it over the GTR R35.

2000 R-34 Skyline GTT with RB25DET. Not bad for my island beater until I get back to the States later next year.

It's not the GTR, but I'm still super jelly man! Do you constantly see Godzilla every time you take to the roads over there or what? I sort of envision it as life on the African Sahara, as a wildebeest. There are predators everywhere, always after you.

Well I have kids so I felt the 4 door was the smarter play. I have seen a few R34 GTRs, but the R32 and R33s are everywhere. I had a run in with a R33 GTR a couple of weeks ago and gave him a good run. Silvias are one probably the most popular cars to modify around the island though.

Really? Didn't know that. If I decide to get back into the awd game it will def be a GT-R LOL! but I'll have to def start playing more lottery[emoji1] but on a serious note, the new awd mazdaspeed don't sound bad and I wonder what mitsu will bring out next since they hauled the evo.

That makes sense, gotta do the family first!

If I were to guess, it'd be Silvias, Evos, and Subies that frequent the most over there.

New Mazdaspeed? Is this something I'm mot aware of? AWD?

 

[04SloSnake]

It has been rumored for awhile as a 2018MY as a AWD model.

 

[mustang_guy]
