Why wouldn't you be able to do an S1 justice ? Try it..you might like it
I duno why but there seems to be a distinct diffrence between S1's & S2's IMO. Ford made a more watered down RS when they made the S2 because the S1 was too hardcore for the market, and S1's have the motorsport background over the S2.
Fragile is the wrong word for the S1, but big power on a knife edge.
i'd love one but they do seem a little harder to keep mint...bodywork especially
