It’s OK I have a FWD DD.
I do have some experience with fast Focusssss I helped (not much but some) build the ZX351
I am filming part of this and at about 20seconds in you can see my M Roadster just behind the white car. Notice we had to convert it to RWD to make it fast ……..LOL…….. JK it was fairly fast in its various turbo incarnations but it did have some wicked TQ steer.
Look if you want to go along deluding yourself that they the same you go ahead but I think you know they’re not equal you just don’t want to admit you got all bent out of shape over nothing.

You really like pulling s*** out your ass don't you? Since you're so damn thick I'll lay down some real world times for you.
E92 M3: Ring time - 8:05
Renault Megane Trophy 265: Ring time - 8:07 (FWD- GASP THIS CAN'T BE!!)
Honda NSX-R: Ring time - 8:09
Viper GTS: Ring time - 8:10
Not to mention the Focus RS and the 350Z got the same laptime of 8:26
PS, I'm confident you just went to youtube and dug up the first video of a RWD focus you could find. I saw that video years ago in college and guess what dropping a 351W motor in a ZX3 does for the car? Makes it f***ing pointless. Give it the slightest bit of throttle and the car eats through the first three gears in a cloud of smoke and it handles like garbage to boot. And if you're talking about going fast in a straight line (meaning you're abandoning your original arguement) all that money and work, the Kruegel komponents swap kit, the T5 transmission, the 8.8" mustang diff and 351 Windsor and the car barely runs 10's. Now your out what? something like 25k? How f***ing pointless. Friend of mine has an EK hatch that runs 10's and only has 6k worth of work put into it.
Your logic is garbage, your "experience" is bullshit, and you're a thick headed RWD fanboy of a liar. How's that?
It's one thing to personally prefer a certain layout, but your claims are both outlandish and ridiculous. There's too many examples that prove the contrary. And you know what? It's times like now that I look back and smile thinking about how many people I scrubbed on the track with your mentality. Feels damn good.
