Well we wouldn't want people to be having fun now would we? Having a good time... that's just bloody un-Australian.

I'm getting an RS and an Adler assault rifle full auto rapid fire bolt action shot gun. And I'm going to drive around in drift mode letting off my 30 round clip magazine. At least while I still can.
Stupid media. |

From article - “We have had no negative feedback. In fact, it’s been quite the opposite,” Pericak said. “Also, as far as ‘thinking twice’, yes…on more and more innovations like this. If you are a true car person, then you not only appreciate features like this but you love them. Our customers love the fact that we get it and we understand them.” “I was hugely disappointed when we had to remove the line lock feature from the Mustang for Australia. This too has been a huge success globally.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So if the rest of the world understands it, why is Australia so backwards?

Interesting how high end cars getaway with whatever they like but god forbid anyone on a common wage have the same experience. Same goes for power, supercars (and even some "normal" sportscars) have so much more power than the local cars but we all get worried about the "power war" with the local cars....well...not so much now but there was always some idiot sparking up. Its just DSC with a bit more tolerance...FFS.

The car is for enthusiasts who like to pay and take their vehicles to the track and might want to try drifting under controlled conditions. FFS if I wanted to talk to my Grandma I would pick up the phone.

Drift mode in the RS changes the bias to perform like a RWD. There are many on this forum that have a preference for RWD, they may prefer to drive in this mode.

Speaking to another RS owner who has some track time under his belt.
He reckoned the best lap times he got at Winton was with drift mode enabled and NOT track mode. Note that drift mode has a 30 front/70 rear power split, with the normal suspension setting (which is still very firm). Ford should have called it "normal track mode" instead of "drift" and no-one would be any wiser.

I mean there will always be an idiot out there weather he drives an RS or not
two points 1. there is not that many RS to go around 2. there worth $70k how many people are going to drift $70k car on the streets and Polyal said "Its just DSC with a bit more tolerance...FFS."

Mk2 was 70k New one I paid 56k on road, which was normal full retail price. And I agree, I don't think many MK3 RS owners will be doing street drifting. Tyres are too expensive at $450 - $500 EACH ! Although the roof of the local westfields looks tempting after some rain
