Was thinking about this the other day on a long journey, which Ford ST sounds the nicest?

I'd personally rule out the Fiesta, ST tdci (or course!) and the first Focus instantly.

Think it's probably a straight fight between the T5 focus unit and the 3.0 Mondeo V6, very differnt sounding engines but which is nicer......

My St in Mountune guise and Dreamscience exhaust. Even my guitar teacher who is a petrolhead said last night it sounded fantastic as I drove up his lane, although not wanging it,

ST220 with a Milltek, sounds even better from the outside! Focus ST sounds good too.

I've got to say, I prefer the note of the T5 to the V6. There's something wonderfully aggressive about it, from the hard-edged note under load to the popping on the overrun. Its like being taken back to the surreal world of Group B rallying.
