fuhrius said:As I surmised earlier, I don't think the traditional Mustang audience is going to 'get' this car...which is another reason why it's great for Ford that they can have a 'one two' punch with hot hatches and the mustang. Scat Pack Challenger as a cross-shop? ATS coupe? Nismo? these aren't the cars that'll be shopped against the RS. Sti, yes. Golf R, Megane, etc...that's the consideration set. The Millennials may not be able to afford the car in droves but that's part of the point. It's aspirational to many...and that'll drive the brand and the sales of more-standard focus and fiesta models.
The Capri was a significant car for Ford, particularly in rally racing. Rally racing in Europe has higher spectatorship that Nascar does in the US.
They're trying to stitch together a heritage of Ford racing that many people have forgotten...and not only is rally / rallycross huge elsewhere, it's one of the fastest-growing segments in motorsports in the US. I think this RS is going to be a great little package and a worthy stablemate to my gt350. Now if we could just get some proper rallycross events going in my area of the country, all would be good.

I've only done their intake and 91 octane tune (because CA). I'm making 384torque at the motor but have seen peak torque hit 413.6 with the addition of a few gallons of 100 octane (making an effective mix of ~93 octane). The tune really wakes the car up.
