Looks like a beast of a little car.

Video of version used at Pike's Peak. If a ricer saw that wing, he'd probably die from envy.

Saw a road going fiesta at Becky's Diner in Portland with Manufacturing plates on it.

Even in $10k road going trim that's a hot little car!

Maybe I'd like it more if it didn't look like a scared little bear with stubby little ears ...

That thing is teenie and slamming such tight circles. It looks like a damm oversize RC car.

and to think I used to refer to them as "Ford Fiasco's".....never again...

Love the Fiesta. Same with the euro Focus. Saw em in Scotland about 4 months ago. Even more epic would be diesels over here. Hopefully Ford will wise up and start selling their real good stuff from overseas here. Anyone seen any of the FPVs from Australia?

On a side note, does anyone know if those Fiestas were custom built to an RA spec? I thought that they had some built under S2000 specs but last I checked those weren't turbo'd.
