Ford Focus ST review @ 1000 miles

I don't even know why we'd make that comparison. I'd see how it stacks up against MS3, GTI, WRX, etc.

That's a ridiculous looking tq curve. Doesn't look to have the breathing issues up top either.

It kinda does. People running it at the strip are finding that early shifting (before 6000 rpm) is yielding better results than redlining it.

6K is reasonable though. The MS3 runs out of air like 1200 rpms before redline.


Any idea why they only tracked to 6K on the Focus? Redline is 6.5K right?
