Yes, I trailer my car to all events. Close or far.

^ LOL @ the "torque steer compensation".

They also call it "Torque Vectoring", and it is simply the traction control using the brakes to stop the inside wheel when turning the car under a load.

They use it to save the weight/price of a real LSD and help with the understeering of the car.

I much rather have a torsen or a clutch type LSD any day.

The focus has been quite dominant in Europe for a while now (people have enjoyed both the RS and ST models over there ) and they finally brought over the nice ones to the states ( good for daily duty and fun). These are nothing like the garbage focus that we used to have to deal with....

Now if we only got the RS (or better yet the RS500) here in the states....

I've read the RS will be within 15 months

The chassis is surprisingly well balanced. At the price point and taking fun to drive and gas mileage into account it's a good daily. I've really enjoyed mine.

Holds a ton of $hit with the seats down in the hatch body. Don't like the sedans.

Have a "defective" AAM 3" Single exhaust titanium tip up for grabs.

Production guy accidentally welded everything with the muffler seam on the side and not the bottom so it's visible when installed. other than that the exhaust is mechanically sound!

pm me for a price

Main reason for selling the z is powerlab didn't have the spacer ready yet when I installed the kit so it came with an AAM spacer.

I got sucked into it
