Today i took out a car that many enthusiasts rave about, a Focus RS. This Tuned Focus RS is an absolute monster in a straight line, but where it really get crazy is in the corners. With AWD, and a rear bias setup, this Tuned Focus RS will take you through a corner with an amount of finesse that you couldn't even put into words. Well, i did put it into words, kind of. I had an absolute blast driving this Tuned Focus RS, and i now understand why everybody loves these cars. Not that i ever doubted it was good or anything, but i finally got to see for myself. Big shoutout to the Owner Pierce, his instagram will be linked down below

Best little Hot Hatch ever made. Ford did a hell of a job on this car.
they absolutely did. thanks for the comment man!
the focus svt's big brother....
I said same thing, I have owned many “sports cars” that feel like a base model that was altered to make more power. Examples include;
Msp3 third gen, Ralliart
Mustang
Subaru wrx sti(worst one)
Mazda speed 3 2010 2nd gen
Ford focus rs
This car focus RS is by far the fastest smoothest hatch I’ve ever seeen
It’s like they took race car n dummed it down so we can enjoy a race car that also somewhat practical for daily.
I at first said even if I had 150000 to spend I’d get a ford focus rs.
But IFind myself looking at other cars still.
I have a 100% stock 2018 Focus RS which I drive infrequently. I drove my RS last night and forgot how fast it is. I gave it a little too much gas while turning and almost went into on coming traffic, lucky for me I reeled it in real quickly.
You need to tune it. Trust me..
Great video! Nice to see you get super excited about driving this great car. I've owned my RS for over 4 years now. Still makes me happy every time I drive it. Mountune power mods and ST Suspension coil-overs really put this car over-the-top!
thanks man glad you liked it!
Why ST coils?
Traded my ST last week for an RS last week. When I tested launch control for the first time that’s what sold me.
big chungus
Love this video, griffin understands all of the the great things about the RS, refreshing really, there's been so many haters in my rear view mirror, hitting fourth hard from third and shit gets fast quick.
Thanks man!
Thanks so much man! ive been around the st rs scene for a minuet now! stoked you liked it!
@@GriffinBlanchard your face man so cool! im an RS owner but new to it its like having a pet Velocer Raptor on the drive who needs a cuddle, but also fresh meat every day.
Sounds INSANE! Good review my baby
INSANE. Thanks dude.
Glad you finally reviewed one.
Me too!
I love my ST but owning an RS...OUCH! Great Vlog.
thanks man! yea the rs is pretty sweet, but i think im still in love with my fiesta haha
The torque vectoring on the ST is different to that of the RS, the ST does indeed have torque brake vectoring, but does nothing with the lost power, however the RS has full torque vectoring and will shift power to one rear wheel if needed
Such an interesting car. Basically outpriced its target market and was abused by dealerships resulting in a short sales life. Used market is definitely something to watch. Very nice mods as well, owner didn't pinch pennies. Great to see.
what do you mean abused by dealerships, not sure what you mean by that. but yea he has some nice mods on it!
@@GriffinBlanchard dealerships were marking up the MSRP out of the price range of many buyers. Nobody was allowed to test drive it either. Really a shame! Ford looked at sales and decided not to continue.
@@cwx8 ohhh i gotcha i gotcha. yea thats annoying. fantastic platform
I feel bad for you Cali boys dealing with the police like that! Another great video my man. Thank you!
so far ive been lucky but as my own build progresses i fear that may not be the case haha. thanks man
@@GriffinBlanchard time to move dude lol
@@stevenlopez1380 naaaa im gunna ride cali out till the end baby
@@GriffinBlanchard haha, I lived in San Diego for 9 years, had its pros, but definitely more cons 😞😞
@@stevenlopez1380 where you at now? Texas?
didnt know how to drive manual before I boght it and learned it in a week, its so worth the effort
man your stoked, what a cool car to learn on!
I just bought this exact car back in December from Ken Grody Ford in Carlsbad.
Ugh my dream car 🥺 why they only make them for three years FML
i know man. But at the same time im kinda glad they only made them for a couple years, makes it special
Epic!
very
Been debating on trading in my Focus ST for one. Best part most of my mods I have now I can just swap over. Should save me some money on re buying the same mods.
Had mine from new in Aug 17, have modded the shit outta it and it is a monster in a straight line but absolutely off it’s face in the corners
do you have a parts list? how did you get to 450?
Love that prod cxdy beat 🔥🔥 just got an RS I can wait to mod it
hell yea dude get stoked
Exhaust is stock?
Just got one for myself, all these pops sound just like my car, which has the stock tune. It’s meant to pop like crazy from the factory.
Motor is stock??
Good review 👍🏼.
thanks man! i appreciate it
I know this is an older video great video by the way. Have to ask though are you flat foot shifting that RS? I know there is a tune for them that you can do that, so I am just curious. I put this comment in at 9.30 so if you discuss it later sorry.
Great review 👏
LETS GOOOO :-O
whats the deal baby!
Do u think this is faster then a fiesta st stage 3
What's the deal baby!?!? Hey dude, I gotta ask....how is the ride quality compared to your FiST? I feel like a lot of people knock it for that (and the turning radius), but I often wonder if they are just overexaggerating.
ayyy whats the deal! the ride quality was a bit rough. the fiesta is more forgiving for sure. I think the 19inch wheels on the rs is what make it rough like that, so maybe just a quick wheel swap would fix it. But that being said, it feels fitting for it to be as rough and rowdy as it is, i mean its an rs. lol thanks for the comment man!
Everything is forgotten when you get in it in the morning and start it up.
you'll see what I mean.
The harder you drive it the more comfortable it gets, its weird.
@@marklamude2355 perfectly explained
if you want to come to oc i have 450 whp focus st
dm me @griffinblanchard
Mans about to sell his st
Super dope video, also I’m praying I win your giveaway 😭😭
thanks man! another video coming out real soon on the fiesta :)
good luck!
@@GriffinBlanchard thank you sir, keep up the great content
There is absolutely no way this is 450bhp with that little mods and no e30. 370 max. I’m at a complete stage 3 and making 470 on 93 so i highly doubt this is at 450.
Demo Drift mode.......Def just trade in and up to an RS.
man i thik im going to have to keep the ST, i like how light and agile it feels. When mines all built up itll be insane
@@GriffinBlanchard Yeah I dig. I used to have a Speed3 and it was great. Your 2ltr can be mega built too, more than my RS 2.3
@@gbass7328 the fists actually have the 1.6. built they can run maybe 500hp. im shooting for about 350
@@GriffinBlanchard OK I saw ST and thought Focus not Fiesta but you did mention that. You know about Adam @ TunePlus right?
@@gbass7328 yea im tuned by him! cool dude
I wanted to trade my 2016 ST in for an RS a few years back..but just couldnt justify the cost. For the cost of my FBO, big turbo set up..I'm still WAY cheaper than a stock RS and I'm quite a bit quicker. FWD doesnt bother me as I've proven on track and the back roads, AWD is cool but not necessary to be faster than others in corners if you're a good driver ^_^
🤨
dont worry im stayin a part of the fiesta gang. youll be seeing some orders from me real soon :)
Walden st 36
This must be fully forged engine with this power bec stock engine only take 420hp
Wrong
Do u think this is faster then a fiesta st stage 3
stock turbo fiesta would absolutely not hang with this. hybrid or s280 would
