Current or Former Focus RS Owners?

[Hack]

I have both and I like the clutch in the RS much better than the Mustang.

Can you say what it is that you like better?

I understand it can be difficult to describe. I remember liking the GT350 clutch better than the regular Mustang GT, but I have trouble saying specifically what the difference is.

Coming from a 2017 RS to a mustang, I definitely miss the handling of the RS. You can literally chuck it around corners at ridiculous speeds in wet or dry and it will stick! I could not find a limit.

The turbo is good down at low rpm but runs out of grunt passed 5.5k.

To me there is much better "feel" in the RS clutch. It's predictable I know exactly when it's going to engage. In the Mustang the let up is very light and it doesn't engage until my foot is almost off the pedal. To be honest I have short shifters on both. I much prefer the feel of the clutch and shifter in the RS over the Mustang.

Have 2013 ST and 2016 eco stang with full Steeda both very good in different ways ST clutch and turn in are amazing and it can be driven very aggressively without getting into trouble Torque steer sucks good daily stereo sounds great with stock rear sub initial brake pedal is soft then comes on strong
Stang has better damping but a little up and down feeling until you get over 80
Faster i drive the better the stang feels
Turn in is disappointing compared to ST
Brakes with GT 4 pots are great
Just bought an RS so hopefully it will live up to hype not sure which Ill be keeping
but most likely ST and stang will go and eventually Ill get a V8 something
