Guys and girls......
Slight situation.....before I bought my Focus RS (03) I drove a CTR as I've always wanted one.However I bought the RS,maybe working for Ford Stealer helped that decision! Just would love a CTR,driving position,gear change,seats,simple effective but awesome drive! If I got £8500 bags of sand I could get a good CTR for that? Hmmm wonder if they're better on fuel,anythings better than a 300bhp RS daily frown the money it costs to run is killing me,and the misses wants a birthday present?! Haha

I wouldn't go down the modified route (didn't know my RS had been played with,remap,upped boost etc when I bought it) I'm sure it would sell and a CTR would be much cheaper to run,would love 6 gears! Is build quality good? Little rattles drive me crazy

May have to test drive one again to see what it's like,some people heavily over sell the VTEC "it's like NOS" someone once said! Do they use loads of oil? I've driven one before through work but it had silly 19" Alloy wheels on it with cheap tyres

Yeah it takes off but with slight torquesteer! Think it maybe best from my point of view to sell it in the new year?

RS is now advertised,been on the type r forum researching and looking at potential cars. Running two cars is not fun,having a focus rs I'm not using is not much fun either frown rather have one car that does everything,looking at a 55/06 premier edition
