My 380hp/400tq Boostang, or the 350hp/350tq RS? It’s your only choice as a manual daily driver. And what would you do with it?

I think it’s an interesting question.

Focus RS.

What would I do with it? Make my kids giggle.

Is it just me or are Grabber Blue and Nitrous Blue the same color?

Oof, tough. If I had an auto backup, the RS, because head gaskets. If it’s my only daily, ‘stang.

Hey look, 2 different cars with the same head gasket!

You’re right, I think the only difference is that one is gloss and the other is m etallic.

Focus RS - marginally lighter and AWD. Find some tarmac rally style wheels from Fifteen52 and slap some meaty rubber on them. Cobb tune, done.

Nitro blue RS every day, add in a tune and it’s a huge winner.

Focus. It hasn’t been tuned up yet. I’d probably go with the booststang stock for stock.

Stanger banger. RWD coupe that rides better.

Pretty much, Grabber is gloss, and Nitrous is metallic.

If Oppo had it’s own COTD, this would be it for me.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
09/05/2018 at 20:41

I’d have to go RS

1 I can’t handle the responsibility of a powerful RWD car. I’d have to buy tires like every month.

2 I have to carry lots of stuff in my car for work so a coupe would be a PITA

I wouldn’t modify it one bit. Aside from some white wheels and snows for winter

Focus. Really a nything but the mustang.

Oof hard choice. Leaning RS but if I got a deal on the Stang........

I’d take the RS and sell it and buy something that isn’t horribly uncomfortable to drive.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Ssfancyfresh
09/05/2018 at 20:43

That’s a good motive.

3430 vs 3520 for the RS and Boostang respectively per Ford’s Statistics. I don’t think it’s that much a difference as a daily.

After driving an RS, probably the Mustang.

RS. i have enough RWD vehicle right now and i miss my AWD DSM

sony1492 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
09/05/2018 at 21:05

M ustang because I would enjoy the rwd more and the option to fit a v8 down the road would be there

Focus RS. I live on a dirt road in a place that gets a lot of snow and has a horrible mud season... As a daily driver only the RS has real chance of making it out of the driveway almost any day of the year.

I would go sideways on dirt every chance I got. And snow. And in mud. and I would bring 200+ lbs of animal feed home in it on a weekly basis or so.

If those were the only choices, it would be the mustang. I’ve driven both and found the mustang to be more comfortable. I’d drive it hard and fast and put it away wet. No love lost here on the mustang.

RS. I need four doors and I suspect my wife would find a way to steal it.

Focus RS, unfortunately I need the backseats for the little one's car seat.

Cobb box tune is how you blow shit up.

1. The RS has drift mode.

2. The RS’s tires are expensive, and comes from the factory with Sport Cup 2’s depending on the wheels.

I’ve driven an RS, and the discomfort is way overblown. You feel everything, but it isn’t jarring. I just didn’t find it that fun.

OPPOsaurus WRX > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
09/05/2018 at 21:33

the RS, the winters would suck int he mustang. I also need back doors cuz kids and home depot runs.

B_dol > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
09/05/2018 at 21:40

AWD + usable back seats. Besides - find a salvage gt350 and swap that engine into the RS. MEGA

09/05/2018 at 21:46

I’ve driven one too. The discomfort took away the enjoyment for me. Definitely would not DD.

I'm sorry. It misread the post and didn't realize it was your mustang in question. It is a personal thing, from a long time ago. I don't like mustangs. I really shouldn't have commented. Your car is great, you have done some cool mods and I am happy it makes you happy.

Cobb is not a great plan. Mountune if you are gonna tune.

Chicago winter's would push me towards the RS

Sovande > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever

There are a great many who would agree. And with good reason, I would wager.

mustang, because fuck compacts. As a 6 foot guy, I prefer big sedans.

I drive mine in the Michigan winters and it’s easier to control than my Focus ST was.

A funner daily than most IMO

How different are Chicago winters from Michigan winters?

I was seriously looking at 18 SS 1LE or an 18 GT 5.0 w/PPl1, but ended up with my 2018 RS for one major reason - backseat access. With a two year old, I would’ve probably hated my decision a few weeks into it. The only time she is ever really in it is to/from daycare, but given that’s at least 6-7 one way trips a week, that would still be a PITA. Thankfully, I still have my 2018 F150 Platinum FX4 for normal family duty haha.
