A few quotes that I enjoy:

You thought you had traction problems with the 3? LOL. The first mod MUST for the ST is gonna have to be a diff... A lil more $ than a RMM

I actually was excited about the ST... Among other things, no lsd was the final blow

This final quote about sums up the Focus ST for me...

Ford is LATE for the party. Way, way, way, way too late. Like "there's nothing left at the bar except Natty Light" late...

^I don't think it requires registration?

EDIT:
I'll be darned, it does. LOL. Removing... That forum is so convoluted. About 1/2 of the sections require registration...stupid nonsense. My browser remembered my user name and password and automatically logged me in...
People can get the gist of the convo from the quotes I posted anyway...

That's actually pretty dope that the MS3 6-speed bolts right up to the 2012 Focus.
