    Ford Power Kit more reasonable than Porsche

    When they make an upgrade for the 350hp RS, that will likely be for a bigger bump at reasonable price...

    Nice little hatchback kiss

    I was just looking at the Audi S1 with ABT power kit which delivers 277hp and 420Nm torque in a 1300kg car with 4-wheel drive indecision A pocket rocket!

    The ABT kit does not affect the warranty which is a big plus.

    Yeah, having a turbocharged AWD Daily Driver can be fun!  My Evo has 425 hp and 590 Nm and weighs 1,450 kg.  It is a riot in the Winter with Michelin Ice tires.  Runs on E85 fuel which is subsidized by the government, so only costs $1.98 per gallon (0.47 Euros per Liter).  Of course it drinks that stuff incredibly fast. 

    One of my favorite things about it is that it has 3 LSD's and each is a different kind.  Has a Wavetrack Torque Biasing Diff on the front axel (like Quaife), Electronic LSD in the center (which has Tarmac, Gravel, and Snow settings - I have had the Tarmac setting reprogrammed for track), and Clutch type LSD in the rear (like Porsche).

    Yeah, I hope I don't have to replace it anytime soon.  But if I do, I am really leaning toward the Focus RS (built in Germany) http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2016-ford-focus-rs-345bhp-power-output-confirmed

    Aside from the Drift mode which sounds fun (nice to have front-engined AWD car that doesn't understeer all the time), it would be handy to have a proper hatch (my Evo is a sedan) to carry my model airplanes and to take my GT4 wheels to get new tires...

    I have heard good stuff about ABT - nice that warranty is not affected.  I think Stasis for Audi also keeps warranty (at least in US)...

    I was laughing before I even opened this thread, a reasonably priced (when compared to another brand) Porsche option, yeah right.

    In Germany this car will be price at 28.500,- €.... a damn lot of fun for such little money. Guess most seat/leather/exclusive combinations of a 911 is ending up higher. And those extra stitches and leather covered vents are not giving you half the enjoyment.
