People love the Focus ST, but it does need a few mods from stock if you want to track it (what doesn't at that price anyway?!).

Ours is "stage 3" as Cobb calls it. Puts down 330 lb-ft to the wheels at something like 2,000 rpm. The giggle factor is high with that car.

If I had waited a year to get a new car and not gotten the Z this year, the ST would be high on my list for sure.

Yeah it's a cool car. Lots of fun to drive and very practical. We just took it on a trip this weekend and averaged 30-35 mpg on the highway depending on speed, can haul a bunch of crap, and still have fun when the roads get twisty or when we just want to put the pedal down. ST + Z make for a really good combo.

This. My ST replaced my Expedition, not my Z!

I have an inkling that the Z will be replaced by a 2015 Mustang if they get it right (i.e. the wife agrees)

I love that F-Type look and sound, and am very glad it placed well in the driver's car contest. If I had $60-100k to spend on a car, I'd actually include that one in the short list to test drive. It's sexy!
