Just thought I'd post this. I paid less than 6K for my FRST, admittedly I have put a few quid more in for parts on top of that. We are only talking straight line speed here cos it don't go round corners Check out some of the cars 1/4 mile times in the RWD grp like a Porsche GT2 and various Vipers. I reckon my Fes is a farkin' bargain to compete with cars like that

£ for £ look at the 200sxs. Far better performance than an RST

XR2 turbo's

Cheaper than RS turbo's
100KG lighter than RS turbo's
go round corners unlike RS turbo's
have the same power potential as RS turbo's


need we say anymore?! except 200bhp in a fiesta will take you into the 13's
