Newbie to RS and to Ford

[cavanna]

Just purchased a new, 2018, “race red” RS from Brampton, ON. It is a lifelong dream to hold an iconic car and what better car to fit this status – just 500 of them were allocated to Canada in 2018. And the joy to drive the low-rumble vehicle – oh, boy, I kept smiling for the whole 500 km way home (well, except when an idiot cut me off on the highway, for no reason, entering just 2m in front of me and decelerating… but the rage vanished in less than 1s because I was driving an RS).
I will be pacing myself a while but soon enough I plan to go to a Cobb Stage 1 and see what can be improved in this already nasty machine.

@Cavanna

Welcome to the Club mate!! Lovely looking Motor!! Yeah it’s non-stop smiling when you get behind the wheel. You should definitely stick a map on it, TOTALLY brings it to life, but I would advise clocking up some miles first and get a good feel of the car standard. Enjoy!!

Cheers, Marc.
