1, i hope they dont make the rs to heavy
2, fwd isnt bad but 4wd would be a lot better, but that needs more altering to sub frame etc.
3, a turbo in it would be awesome (but not nescesary)
4, 6 gears means -> SHIFTING FUN!!!!
5, as long as they keep the same suspension as normal fiesta its [censored] great. (lowered mine with 5cm) hard as hell but it wont go sideways in a turn

I think you will be pleased... it's likely to be reasonably light, a turbo hasn't been ruled out and a 6 speed gearbox wouldn't be too hard to do. The suspension will be an improved version of the standard Fiesta setup, so it should be the best handling hot hatch ever!!

I have to agree a stripped out light weight car is the way to go.

What about a cosworth tuned 1.6 Turbo like the Jnr WRC Fiesta?
220bhp revving up to 9000 rpm through the front wheels with a LSD? Might need launch control to handle that power off the line.
It has got to have front fogs and the Rallye Concept head lamps.
I would like a fast ford with a 6 speed paddle shift gear box, could make it a bit expensive though. Might be better leaving that for the focus cossie.

Launch control would add another grand to the price of the car, but wouldn't it be lovely!
