SCT has a tune available for the ST. They've said they have had a NA on their dyno and the only thing preventing a tune is the lack of a NA car.

Who knows now. But at least the ECU for the ST has been cracked.

So they've been saying. But they own that black metallic ST that they've been spewing pics of, if I'm not mistaken. So I see something of an inconsistency about how they're going about this. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is less than happy about the state of affairs. As someone on their Facebook pointed out...18 months of NA Mk. III Focus availability, no tune. 30 days of ST general availability, tune. Number of STs produced: roughly 10,000. Number of NA Mk IIIs produced: roughly a quarter million. As of this half of 2012, it is literally the best selling car in the world.

My palm is well and truly buried in my face, guys. Come. On.

If I could afford to take the hit and the extra cost, I'd simply trade in my SE 5-speed for the ST at this rate...

They don't own it, but were allowed to borrow it for a month.

Other then that, you are absolutely correct.

Ah, my bad. I was under the impression they did. I know/(have been told at least) that they've purchased 'test mules' for themselves before (Mustangs I think?). So, my apologies there.

But yeah, stand by the rest of that...

Nope. Nothing aside from SCT saying we should tell their dealers that we're interested in a tune and give them our PCM Strategy Codes.

Check out the thread that Brian posted. It's the most promising lead yet.
