Me! I could think of better things to do with the money and buying a car the same colour as my watering can wouldn't be one of them.

it moves the steering axis closer to the wheel centers than is possible with normal knuckle/upright designs. this reduces scrub angle which reduces torque steer; and reduces kingpin inclination which improves camber control during roll/bump/rebound conditions, thus resulting in better traction, generally speaking.

Makes me laugh. I could have a Focus 1.6 with the same power if I chose to. The point is for the same money spent the FRS would then be a hell of a lot faster. Lets be honest. If offered the Focus RS or their ST upgraded to the same power, they will all choose the same thing.

Most ST owners are right up their own arses it's unbelievable.

The obvious downside, being a ford, will be that it constantly breaks
