Well ive just sold my rs and gone vto an audi tts and all i can say is the audi feels faster and more stable and drivable than the bouncy wandering ford.  Thank god i swapped.

@Tangodeltasierra3, well I have only had it 2 days so yet to drive it properly. Had a couple of drives on local b roads and I prefer it so far but i do agree that the Audi seems faster, could be the stronic gearbox on mine. Did you get manual or stronic?

Use a ruler to measure the size of smile, not a stop watch for the time between traffic lights.

A flappy paddle car with similar power will always be quicker in a straight line, but IMHO bloody boring.

I ditched the S5 I had for that very reason. The Audi felt numb in comparison to the RS.

@9designs Went for a long drive in the moors today, ive been back 4 hours and still smiling!

@v8griff Nice to hear another Audi owner say that and I agree with that comment, numb is the right word.

@sebb, nice one, the smile just gets bigger as you tweak it and learn it’s little quirks.

@9designs Been making a list of mods I want and will definitely be contacting you for a DSC suspension control unit at some point in the future ?

Ive bought a manual tts and the focus had fpm375 too. Wasn’t a patch on a 12 yr old evo either can’t believe how disappointing the ford was i wanted it to be a keeper.

@TangoDeltaSierra3 – So you were still looking for an RS on June 16, 2018 and you sold it last week? That was quick, mate.
