Now that we can tune the 11s and 12s things might get interesting...

Is this official now? Do we have a company offering tuning support for the early mk7's? I know I've seen Cobb and FSwerks talk about the ST but haven't seen anything for the standard models

SCT is offering custom tuning at their dealerships, no hand held device though. It's up over on the faction. Only 11 and 12 Fiestas are currently supported so far. I wish I lived closer to FSWerks!

To get the same performance as an ST from a base model you will probably spend the same amount of money all together on the car and parts as an ST. Might as well use the money you save for parts on a down payment for a base ST.

You're no fun...

^ this. Though there's always awd conversion...

Been done in the Focus, no reason it couldn't be done in a Fiesta.

I don't know how much chassis modification the WRC cars get to fit AWD. I've been under mine and the exhaust tunnel is plenty big enough for a drive shaft, and it's right down the middle...

Do you think the 5.8L GT500 motor would fit?

If FIAT can fit a Ferrari v12 into a 500, then yes.

Only with a really BIG shoehorn!
