And that's with the stock Focus engine, correct? 130 hp or something? That's pretty amazing. I wonder what it will do with the MS3 engine...

That's with the standard 1.8 engine, which looks to be more than enough! The 2.3 DISI, with over two times the horsepower, will be a screamer. I suspect that we'll need to do a bit of fiddling with the setup, spring rates, etceteras, to get the handling just right. The chirp on takeoff also tells me that I definitely need to put 9" wide tires out back. At least.

Your car is going to be a screamer for sure.

I was thinking that it would be fun to do a little "shoot out" with all of these different exocars. Maybe even have a magazine come and cover it. I'd bring my car.

We could get the Atom, Rocket, Sonic7, SL-R, Deronda, KTM, etc...

Count me in--I don't even need the magazines to be there. :)
