Ford Focus ST review @ 1000 miles

If the s2000 had v-6 in it and as much interior room as the Z I don't think it would be anywhere near as a good of handler as it is now.

Which brings me to my next point. the s2000, 370z, and ford focus st are meant to be fun cars in different ways:
S2000- light, nimble, great handling go cart feel, rwd, top down fun
370Z - speed/acceleration, with good handling, interior comfort, well balanced fun car.
ford focus - straight line speed, torque, interior comfort>performance, everyday fun car
