Got to drive a new Focus RS - basically a detuned World Rally Cup car, 350HP, 6-speed manual, all-wheel-drive. What a blast to drive!
Although it only has a 2.3 L four cylinder, it accelerates like a big block and (allegedly) tops out at about 160 mph. Best handling I've ever experienced in a street-legal car. The full-rally versions have something like 600 HP.
I've driven the Dodge Hellcat, among other high-speed machines, and this thing is more fun; it's like a 350 horse go-cart. I just may have to have one of these...
