Default Would a Fiesta Rs make a Good track car?

Hello all.

I have some questions about the Fiesta Rs turbo!

Next year me and a few mates are going to be doing some track days and are looking at certain cars that we could use.

So far we have a huge list so are trying to limit the number to see what will be best. As none off use have owned a Rs fiesta we need some info about them!

1. How do they handle compared to the other hot hatches, ie 106 gti 205 gti, mk1&2 golf gtis,Minis,williams and so on. Are they ready avalible parts to improve the handling. Coilovers, Shocks/ Springs, ARB, and so on.

2. Whats the standard weight and performance figures? We will be stripping out most off the interior etc.

3. How reliable are they? anything prone to go wrong? Whats good mods to improve the power output, zetec bottom end, cams, exhaust etc?

4. Are LSD avalible for them?

5. Would you recommend one or choose something else from ford, ie Rs1800s, escorts etc.

Budget is around 4.5k
