No Fiesta ST for you!

[P40E]

In a way i can understand why ford did this . The fiesta is the #1 car sold (or something like that) over in Europe. Downsizing was probably a good thing for them the car probably gets even better mpg than the older st .

Some people don't like the all new design , but the fiesta needed to do something , the old fiesta body lines have been the same since about 2008 I believe . I'm starting to like the new look .

What sucks is that Ford never sold the 3 door here . That is one of the lightest vehicles made by ford . The ST would have a bigger following if Ford sold those here . And the fiesta following is already big here if you guys didn't know that . There are aftermarket parts companies .

Except some people dont care about looks like that. Give me a 4 door hatchback that I can toss around on a track while still being able to carry things home from home depot as a dd and get 35 mpg. Way more practical for me than a brz/mustang/miata if I am only having one car.

Have you ever driven a focus st/fiesta st? They are a blast.

The only thing you are fitting in this thing from home depot is screws and lightbulbs.

If you guys do the numbers , that's 200hp @ 2500 lbs . That's a decent power to ratio stock .

"advertised" 4th gen z-28 were 320 hp. vs 350 hp of the focus rs.

I meant the current hp of the car .

It's a bolt on car.

Can you give an estimate ?

Because he was stuck in traffic?

This is a picture of a 480hp 2015 Camaro SS . He wasn't too happy that day .

Why did you delete your post and post the game thing....thus putting my hilarious comment out of order..

 

[P40E]

Because he was stuck in traffic?

Most people won't believe it . Nfg

 

[YoushallgoFo]

I'm so confused.

 

[Kensington]

Were you tuned/mods at that point?

 

[b4black]

These would be cool to drive around a go-kart track. I'd pay $10 for that.

Are you asking me ? My fiesta has more hp than YoushallgoFo , and I'm about 1,000 lbs lighter . And it's street driver friendly .

Fair enough I knew your Fiesta had work done, didn't know HOW much...looks to be a significant amount...Was going to say, I've run a few FoST's in the Flex, and walked them pretty easily, and stock for stock the FoST's should be quite a bit quicker than the FiST's.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

Lots of cars have more hp than mine..all I was saying was that it's not like my car has some crazy amount of hp and is therefore not fun to drive. Someone was saying how small cars are fun to drive even though they have low hp numbers. And then someone else said a 700hp car was less fun to drive. I was just pointing out that that was not what my car is.

The camaro was bolt ons , cammed , and tuned by the way .

 

[Kensington]

Shit, if you're FWD, running 11.70's, I have no doubts about rolling a 5th gen

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Yeah thats not even a close or fun race

3 cylinder bikes sound amazing I bet this will sound really good with an exhaust.

I don't fit well in my son's Focus ST but it's a lot of fun to drive. Perfect car for a young man getting into the sport.

At least with my FoST I can have some decent practicality. Extra large capacity Samsung dryer that I grabbed from Home Depot last year:
