I think the best Focus RS sound I've heard so far is on the 5th Gear review:

HERE

Go to 3:13 and then listen to the growl at 3:24, not to mention the "whistles and the pops" from the wastegate!

Slightly off topic but I LOVE the sound of THIS Focus as well! The downshift sounds unbelievable...

The video of the WRC Focus in the wet on the tarmac is great and who said you can't drift a Focus! We'll tell you if it sounds as good in real life but you'll have to wait till September.

The WRC focus relates about as much to my LS as a superbike does to a wheelbarrow :P

Bugger me that's an awesome video at Rallyday.

Mullet don't be so sure about your car not being that related to the WRC car. Did you know the first Focus road car's bodyshell was something in the vicintiy of 100% stiffer than the then-replaced Escort, and 10% stiffer than The Escort RS Cosworth Rally car... deliberately done to make both the Focus road car and Focus Rally car insanley good handlers.

Anyone read JC's review in the latest TopGear Aus mag. He called it EPIC.

He absolutely loved it.
