Gotta tell ya... A guy in a Focus SVT thought he could mess with the MCS on my way to work today. In a 0 to about 100 run with one sweeping right curve the SVT really gave my MCS a run for the money, but he never got past my rear bumper.

how hard was this "curve"? i got a chance to ride in a cooper this weekend (thanks L.Mini :smile
and i must say that i believe the cooper would outhandle the focus, easily. if it wasn't a hard turn, then factor in the power/weight ratio, and there you have it. :smile: props to the mini, from a focus owner! :smile:

Um, couldn't you say that the cooper would outhandle any front wheel drive car and *almost* any car period?

I did have my MCS on the track at Phoenix Raceway for almost an hour which was pretty cool, no radar or rice burners in sight...only hope I can do it again someday...
