Focus RS

Scott Plechus is who I bought from the first time. Guy was awesome. His dad is the new car sales manager but Scott was under the weather last time I was up there and had to step away. That email I posted did not work for me. Hell those guys probably come and go like the weather.

I thought we also had a Five Star guy on the board somewhere. I know Autonation usually doesn't get into the price gouging to much. Did they have one?

Try Ali Basham at autonation south Fort Worth. She's the Internet sales manager and has always been easy to deal with.

We need another Skip in this place.

We need another Skip in this place.

I also miss having North Texas Nissan being owned by one of our guys. That guy really took care of us.

Trust me. I tried.

I ended up buying at Bob Moore Ford in Oklahoma City. Every local dealer wanted 5 grand AMV. Westway wanted near 60k for the car, lol.

Sweet deal, Ryan.

Right on man! I saw a gray one @ the Tail of the Dragon today, the guy who owned it said he had a built wrx before the RS but couldn't stop talking about how much he loved the car in comparison to the subi. hope you enjoy yours as much as he was

Bad ass. I keep coming back to the Focus every time I start looking for a driver.

Hope u end up liking it but my advice is daily it and never mod it or track it. Basic reviews are fanboys who praise it but don't understand that 300 degree oil temps in 3 laps are bad and hardcore track rats that can't stand all the BS Ford put in the factory "save the drivetrain" programming. Leave it stock and daily it. Sell it in three years because it's an AWD 4cyl car....

Again I hope you enjoy it but it highly over rated.....just as the STi is too.

The tuners seem pretty enthusiastic about the potential, such as AMS, Mountune, Cobb, Hennessey, LethalPerformance, etc. Seems like 400w is just an intercooler, filter, and tune away based on what I am reading.


I have a feeling the car will likely need an oil cooler and RDU cooler to push it hard on track, but I don't really think tracking a car with 67 miles or less like the Vorshlag guys was the best idea, the ECU doesnt finish break-in until 1000miles. Also the vorshlag guys were not really accurate with a lot of their assessments when an engineer pointed out the RDU housing has the same volume and fluid capacity as an STi when they said it was "lawnmower sized" or whatever they said.

Ryan, leave it stock for fucks sake. 400whp on AWD cars is over 600 at the crank. You are going to have another nightmare. Modding an AWD 4cyl turbo car is like dating a stripper. Sure it can be sexxy....but its going to cost you a fortune, leave you broke and feeling unsatisfied while your buddy with the clean Fox is still throttling his bitch daily.
