interesting, but the estimated numbers arent that great 0-60 mph : 6.2 sec. 0-¼ mile : 14.7 sec @ 96.5 mph(estimated) the new colbalt SS has 205hp and runs the 1/4mile in 14.5 ---

Yeah the RS has been around for a while in europe…last thing i read was that it was coming & thats why they got rid of the SVT focus, so the RS wouldn’t be competing with it. I’m not a focus fan, but i would consider a RS…i’ve never read a bad review about it.
