OT: Ford Escort RS coming to USA.

Looks like my son's car in a few years, maybe I'll sell the R-Spec and pick one up as a daily? Neat ride, killer engine, and the mod folks will make these 2.3 turbo engines sing! Reminds me of the Saab Viggen engines. Easily modded to twice the crank HP/TQ. Loved my Aero Sedan back in the day with an ECU flash, down pipe and LSD. FWD, but this sedan was a blast.

I've been playing with a mustang 2.3 ecoboost. Fun car, lots of potential. 60hp with just a tune. DP and intercooler going in soon. I'm going to dyno between each mod and in different combinations to quantify the gains. Also going to try different intakes and exhausts.

It's a Focus . Ford fans have been crying out for another AWD RS for years and finally it's arrived, probably in answer to the Golf R. Shame it doesn't look a bit more like the 2 door previous model though.

They should have at least made it not look like a shopping cart. The previous RS looked awesome. Glad its 4WD! About it! Will compete with the Audi RS3 as well I guess.

The previous models styling was a bit OTT for me, as Ford wanted to sell the new one to a wider market they toned it down, a bit too much perhaps. I think the RS3 will have a 5 cylinder engine ?
