Dusty Ventures: co-driving instuctor at team oneil rally school. Paid in Focus RS's.

I like this idea

I hope that by the time I graduate Ford is providing these to dealers in a high enough quantity that they can be had at sticker. I want one but can't afford one until I am out of school and have a job.

Why not one, but two people would order a Focus RS in any other color but Nitrous blue is simply beyond my mortal comprehension.

Dusty Ventures > TheTurbochargedSquirrel

Sadly, if previous RS runs are anything to go by, the more likely result is that they’ll maintain the current pace, then stop selling them entirely in 2-3 years.

I don’t get it either. There were a couple people posting nitro blue ones yesterday, and a grey one as well, but I can’t remember who it was

TheTurbochargedSquirrel > Dusty Ventures

Is that what the focus rs runs have been like in europe?

Dusty Ventures > TheTurbochargedSquirrel

Yep

TheTurbochargedSquirrel > Dusty Ventures

Damn it Ford. You would sell tons of these if you built them to match demands. Oh well. I guess I could hope we get an RS based on the next generation of Focus some time around 2025.

Also how long do you think until Tim’s focus is stripped and caged. Or he buys another one to build.

Dusty Ventures > TheTurbochargedSquirrel
07/07/2016 at 21:25

I’d wager he’ll have a caged RS by Sno*Drift

When I saw him at Mt. Washington in 2014 he had a new Fiesta ST which still had the factory wraping on it but was completely stripped. There was also the ST which had it’s engine and transmission pulled a few weeks after he got it so that they could take measurements so that the Fiesta R2 transmission could be adapted to fit.

The only one I’ve seen is Frozen White, which... looks better than I though it would. The owner mentioned that he pretty much blends into traffic, which could be good or bad, depending on how you drive.

As an aside, his exact words were that “it doesn’t feel as quick as I thought it would” and “it doesn’t feel any quicker than my Focus ST.” He took me along on one of his autocross runs (with 400 miles on it...), and I have to agree - it doesn’t blow you away. Matt Farah mentioned that in his One Take video, noting that the smaller turbo on the ST means quicker response on the low end. It makes sense, but it feels weird compared to what you’d expect.

Nitrous Blue is a great color, but it’s like getting a Rosso Corsa Ferrari.

spanfucker retire bitch > Sam
07/10/2016 at 17:57

But Nitrous Blue is the best color and Rosso Corsa isn’t.

Sam > spanfucker retire bitch

But if everyone gets Nitrous Blue, then the car shows will be very boring “Blue Focus RS, blue Focus RS, blue Focus RS, blue Focus RS, hey look, another blue Focus RS!” Maybe I’m just a hipster, though.

As a Focus ST owner, I get constant emails/junkmail about how I am eligable to upgrade, with a special allotment of RS being reserved for current ST owners.

It sucks because I also lack the money to allow me to do so.

According to my dealer, they’re sold out in North America through the 2017 model year. Unless you’re gonna go used (or own an ST and have access to the handful of cars reserved for trade-ups), you’re not gonna get one.
