I think my suggestion about them being coy may well have some truth in it.. They seem to be not saying much and waiting for all the Journos to talk it up.
Nice marketing ploy. Understate a very anticipated car, hand the keys over to a few important players and let them do the selling for you... it'll become a legend before one even appears on the road.
I can't wait for a go in one.

I'm looking at the RS as a blank canvas, its pulling those figures as standard, £500 on a remap alone should see a marked improvement, and although Johnnys car is an exception, I'd imagine the majority of modded ed30s would struggle with the RS as standard never mind with a remap.
:signLOL: look at me defending the car ive only got a deposit on....... :ashamed:

Thats what im really looking forward to seeing, how much can be had out of the standard engine / turbo with bolt on parts and re-maps etc etc.. If its 370+ then its going to be an attractive prospect..
DavyP:
In one of the vids in this thread the lead designer was suggesting that the car is certainly capable of handling more than 300bhp so it is as you've said going to be interesting to see what the tuners come up with.
Ford havent really confirmed the 0-60 time as fact so perhaps it is some kind of ploy, worked on me :signLOL:

I've just been having a sniff about and can't find much about the "bling" I can see it has uprated brakes over the ST, but what - Brembos like the MKI RS? etc etc..
Is there somewhere linked with all the spec & details?
