I would still take the EB. Drove 'em both, the Fiesta is a fun 'city car' and shines in tight neighborhoods and narrow twisties - the power is fine for what it is (and I'm sure with a tune like this example it will be a riot). However, it feels flimsy and cheap - the interior is really low rent and the road noise is terrible. Additionally, the steering wants to torque steer quite a bit. The quick turn-in is what makes the car fun, combined with the somewhat loose back end (unusual for a FWD car).
The EB looks infinitely better, feels much more premium (the difference between the solidity of a Merc and a Kia), has way more torque and just grips better. Solid touring car and really good handler with the PP. With some slight suspension work, the car can really be outstanding and the Mustang has the aftermarket to support that. I'm not even getting to the power difference, as this comparison is not about that.
My money would go to the EB anyday, even over the Focus ST. Vs the Focus RS, who knows - but I suspect from the factory stock Vs stock the RS will be much better prepped (and cool though IMHO ricey looking car), with the EB Stang being more competitive with some money put into it (that cant be said for most cars, ex - you cant throw money at a Lexus RC-F or HellCat to make it handle much better).
Enjoy!
