Hi Everyone,
Just like everyone else on the forum I'm REALLY looking forward to picking up an RS when they get to the US, I will be keeping my BRZ as a daily driver to get to work and such and use the RS for the rest of the time and for FUN of course.
Question for any resident experts out there - Will the early adopters have to pay a premium when the RS is released (I paid 3k over MSRP for the BRZ when it was released)
The premium is totally up to the dealers. If the demand is high enough that they can get people to pay that price then dealers will do it. I am not expecting that to happen though.
I hope your right about the premium, I did it once and I really would prefer not to do it again, I guess it all depends on how many are available when it first comes out.
We agree, I don't understand what you are trying to prove that I haven't already agreed to. When there is high demand and low supply, dealers will raise prices just like with any other product. Its the laws of economics. If you really want it enough then you will pay the extra money.
I wouldn't pay extra for a Focus RS. I would rather wait for the initial buying surge to finish and then come back later when the demand is a bit less and there isn't a premium. I'm not sure how much the wait would be, but I like to think I can be patient.
This car needs to come out already. I'm so ready for some AWD turbo power again. The STi is in the garage broken and might stay that way until after the RS comes out.
No, the car is done. Needs a bigger better fuel system but IMO, nothing more for street or track. It was a beast all of its 18,000 miles. A couple of them @ 36 psi too.
CA 91 gas blows but that's all we get. I was limited to 18-19 psi on straight 91 and around 24 with 91 + 50/50 meth injection. I also had boost control issues and couldn't hold more than 22 psi at redline (8,000-8,200).
The next plan is to upgrade the fuel system with a surge tank and external pumps, ID1300 injectors, and a motor refresh and new head gasket. That may not happen until after I get the RS though >
