Hi,
I've been interested in these cars ever since Ford Racing/Performance, and Malcolm Wilson Motorsports started campaigning them in the World Rally Championships, instead of the Focus model.
I come from the 4th gen, GM f body/LSx community, so don't HATE me for that :hide: but have ALWAYS been a fan of ALL of the Ford 'RS' models, and their respective World Rally race versions, regardless of FIA Group, or age, going all the way back to the very first, RWD, BDA engined, Escort Cossies.
(I even had a subscription to the Brit "Fast Fords" rag at one time!)
As it stands today, the Fiesta model is not only the ONLY actual domestic nameplate currently rallied on the WRC, it is the only nameplate PERIOD rallied in that series available from ANY manufacturer in this country (albeit of course, not in the form in which it competes in that championship ).
The Blue Oval would have a world DESTROYER on their hands IF they ever decide to release a street version of a light weight, COUPE, Fiesta RS with a 2 liter Ecoboost and a great 6 speed, AWD system!!!!!
