Car Wish Wednesday

[Livernois Motorsports]

As many of you that follow me personally on Facebook there is a certain domesticated European hatch that has made its way across the pond recently. AND IT IS ALL THAT ONE COULD WISH FOR IN A HOT HATCH!


Some say that its 2.3L 4 cyl engine runs on nothing but baby seals. Some say that this is the only car that makes "Kit" from "Knight Rider" jealous. All I know, IT'S CALLED THE RS!

While leaving a Cars & Coffee meet at Motorworld in Stuttgart, this Focus RS tried to leave like a true Mustang,

but failed, avoiding all cars, curbs and people...

Do you guys have an AWD dyno? I've been reading that the RDU starts to act up on the dyno.

Also, WHP numbers may be inconsistent for the first 600 miles or so.

We have 3 chassis dynos, all DynoJet. One is a portable unit that we take all over. One is a 4 post dyno that is only a couple months old. Lastly, we DO have an AWD dyno that we use for far more than just AWD vehicles. We are so busy that we often have all 3 dynos going at the same time! LUCKILY, they are not lined up because we would all be deaf!
