Well as some of you I sold my GT500 to focus more on building my 04 cobra, and there was also a specific car I have been very interested in. I have always been a fan of the ST and almost bought one, so once I found out the RS was finally available in the US for the first time ever I knew I had to have one. So after the Shelby was shipped off to Connecticut I began hunting for a RS, needless to say it wasn't as easy as I hoped to buy one. Finally after looking for 3 weeks I found a Stealth Gray RS about 200 miles away from me for MSRP. So I headed down to Tucson and picked her up. Needless to say I'm in love with this car. Ford really did a great job with the MK3 RS. So far I have done a couple little mods, but nothing crazy. I plan on keeping this car mostly stock for awhile, at least until my terminator is finished.

Congrats on your new purchase! I agree, that's a nice garage you have.

I picked up my Frost White Focus RS after a 7 month wait. Ordered in April 2016 and it was delivered in November.

Awesome man, I love that color also.
That color is awesome
I almost bought a nitrous blue RS, but I after seeing the stealth gray in person I had to have it.

Congratulation! I, too, like the gray paint. What are your early impressions of the RS?

Thanks Bob.
As soon as I took the RS for a test drive I feel in love. I have always wanted a turbo AWD car and I'm happy to finally own one. It's definitely one of the best handling cars I have ever driven and it pulls good for a 350hp car, and the exhaust pops are one of my favorite things about the car.
