"In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability modifications are required:
• Install transmission oil cooler. Permanent damage to the transmission will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without installation of a transmission oil cooler.
• Install rear differential cooler. Permanent damage to the rear differential will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without installation of a differential cooler.
• Install Ford Racing brake cooling duct kit. Excessive brake wear will occur if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without installation of a brake cooling kit.
• Replace the rear axle lubricant after the first 1 hour of high-speed operation or if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions and every 12 hours thereafter."
So we've got a car meant to do quarter-miles every single weekend and it needs mods in order to work properly. Are you serious, Ford? Discuss. |

01.23.12 | Its a ford, what did you expect? Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily, and the average ford tool kit just comes with a large lump hammer and a screwdriver. |

Being European, I typically expect Fords to be actually decent. There are 2 Focus RSs in my town, and they're both race-ready from the showroom. Maybe Ford of Europe should explain to Ford of USA how to make a high performance car. |

01.23.12 | Well it's always been a rarity that the US comes up with a worthwhile sports car, as you know the best manufacturers of sports cars predominantley come from europe (mainly germany,italy and the uk). |

01.23.12 | There are good ones. They're all tremendously unrefined, but at least they are (or used to be) ready for war. Basically like Japanese stuff, but relying more on power than handling. |
