In my last post, I mentioned that even though my Focus RS is not quite as fast as it used to be, it's still capable of setting a top 5 PAX performance.  At my last event in Daytona, I got third overall out of 104, with another RS in 2nd overall:

 

Here's some video from my best run:

 

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this car?  ;)

I've now got 72k trouble-free miles on mine, though the OEM clutch is now slipping a little on really hard launches.  It will probably need replacement soon, but that's really the first high-dollar (or any dollar) repair it's needed.  It had the head gasket replaced by the recall early in it's life, but hasn't seen the inside of the dealership since then.
