Give me that F'in Cosworth!!!
I'd give up my CTS-V and pay mid $30k for it, easily. From what I've read, it's an M3 killer. Anything than can outrun an STi, EVO, & M3 is worth $30k in my book.

Bottom line is that Ford USA will not release a car in the states that can outperform its Mustang line. The Cosworth and RS would take away from the new Mustang GT and all future specialty V8 models (Cobra, Bullitt, Mach1's, etc). Currently, Ford dominates the Pony car market with GM axing the Camaro & Firebirds.

I hope they see the success Subaru, Mistubishi, & Dodge have been having with Sport compacts.

The Focus Cosworth is rumored to be AWD with 300hp to the wheels. With 18% driveline that's an amazing amount of power. [:0]

We will probably never see it here. [:(]

^^^not true alot of people think it would take away from mustang sales and it actually wouldnt, at least not enough to make a significant impact. Most people buy the mustang for the simple fact that its a mustang, they wont care if there was a car offered by ford that was faster then it, especially if it was just a focus hatch, dont get me wrong i love the hatch but its not as widly accepted in the US.

FoMoCo wont do it they dont have the balls, its like all they care about is the frickin' stang and the rest of the line suffers. I drove T-birds for a long time and the supercoupe was my alltime favorite, in 94/95 it was one of ford's fastest cars and to improve on it would almost mean out doing the stang. So what did they do? they killed it and came out with crappy cruiser and marked it up so high that only a few people could afford it. I dont mean to get off topic but my point is they dont want you to have any others choices than the stangs. [mad]

I can see some of your points about it being competition for the stang, but I don't think it would affect mustang sales that much. Like someone said earlier.. if someone is in the market for a mustang, they are not going to get a focus no matter how fast it is. It does not appeal to the pony-car enthusiast very much. Front drive is not seen as good for performance and not even having more than 4 cylinders is a big deal.
I am a convert from this way of thinking thanks to my test-drive in an SVTF after recommendation from a friend after I gave him a bad time about his SVTF... lol... funny how things work out.

meh. for what it would cost, you can build up your run o the mill zx3 to be better, much better. The RS is not that fast. Sure the power output is a bit higher than a SVT, but with all the extra equipment, its a heavy car.
*note* before all of you RS fanboys get on me, I've driven a RS, on US roads, and wasn't really impressed, aside from the "rare" factor of the car. Well, I wasn't until I drove it again, after Garett did a very nice turbo upgrade...

Well that's because you did NOT have 25 posts to sell.
Then once I told you that.
You posted all over I have a Focus RS for sale. Which DOES NOT count as legit posts.
You just seem to be a scam. That is all.
