Just like many people around here who became disillusioned after modifying their 86's to become 'Porsche killers', there will be many disillusioned Focus RS owners in the coming years lamenting how they thought they were buying a sports car but instead got a very fast econo-box.

Word will get out, I bet there will be a day when you can pick up a Focus RS for new Focus ST prices if they don't limit production.

In an FR-S? Interesting, I felt fine in mine up and over 110 mph. I haven't hit 120 but I'd be surprised if the car's composure deteriorated that quickly, but I can see a rough road making it very sketchy very quickly, the joys of closed circuit lapping

As long as you don't think it'll transform your car into some monster and you expect to spend time and money troubleshooting when something doesn't work right you'll probably be happy.
