I'm optimistic about them, with hopes of Cobb getting involved. Again, at the crushing speed you were, there's no way you could wind out the motor for induction noise. You got in the vehicle hating it before you flipped the key.
I dont like Fords direction, but comparing a crossover SUV I any capacity to a compact tuner car will lead to much disappointment.
My stepdad would love it. The man owned track prepped MG's and Fiats back in the 60s and 70s. He doesn't like the Fiesta. Rides too rough for him at nearly 80 years old.
I will say this about the stupid paddles and gear selector, this is standard on many BMW and Mercedes being produced. I see thousands daily where I work and drool over the v8 biturbo badges
Bare with me. Imagine Cobb produced an Ap3, larger intercooler, and so forth for this. Also consider the FiST is an econobox, so even neutered and in stock form they are nimble (sort of) and can be easily flung around. The Edge is a big frickin box that's always gonna be a big frickin box. There's only so much that can be done with it. Again, I'd like to see an aftermarket following really draw some potential gains from them. If no one jumps on board with the aftermarket support, it will quickly die.
