Greetings from the Mountain West

[LanT5]

Just picked up a 2016 ST. This is my second Fiesta, the first being a 1st gen S model back in the high school days. I've always run a different direction when it comes to transportation. The you bought a 'what' comments have been endless since I bought the ST. Here in the land of 3/4 diesel pickups and the crossover I was lucky enough to find a leftover 2016 at a dealer up in a mountain valley (they had a Focus RS and GT350R as well). A deal was struck and I'm looking forward to many miles of .

I'm already looking at changing shocks, probably Bilstein B6's, as the roads around here do bring the punishing ride out. Other than that I'm having a blast and looking forward to the ST Octane Academy out at UMC in May.

On the way home right after taking delivery. Not a bad way to start the ownership experience.

WELCOME and CONGRATS!

Just curious, but what was that dealer asking for the 350R (after dealer 'market adjustment' gouge of course) since I have never even heard of one of these existing on a showroom floor (I thought that they had to be 'requested' from Ford Performance/Racing, and were NOT just allocated for stock)?

Welcome and congrats on the new FiST.

I was mistaken, it's a GT350, not an R.
The Focus RS got sold to a dealer in the Seattle area.

OK, yeah the dealer I bought my FiST from had (still there as far as I know) a regular GT350 on the showroom floor, and of course they had it priced with their INSANE $15K 'market adjustment' ultra-gouge added in.
