The Civic Si was only 1 second faster on a track that took people an average of over 90 seconds to run.

This Civic also had aftermarket wheels and tires and exhaust (that I could see, who knows what else), and they have a 2.0 liter 197 HP engine, compared to the 1.6 liter 118HP Fiesta.

Well then, it appears that the Fiesta had a better "driver mod" than the Civic, huh?

Good stuff, Mark. Was that in the parking lot of Qualcomm Stadium?

Thanks Mike! Yes, the entire west lot was our playground

Interesting. Were these civics clapped out bangers?

Nice ride Mark. Any idea when the Fiesta and the Euro Focus are going to be available for purchase in North American dealerships?

Oh, for those that can't wait until then, the Fiesta and Focus RS have been confirmed to be in the new Xbox 360 simulator Forza Motorsport 3, available October 27th in all video game retailers in North America.

Thanks!

Expect the Fiesta roughly May of next year, although I hear conflicting reports it may come sooner, or may be a month later than that

As for the Focus, that is also unofficial at this point, but expect 2-4 months after the Fiesta launch. That new Focus is sure gonna be sweet!

I too heard about them making it into the games, very cool!
