Yep. The standard RS MK2 struggled to put the power down on anything but a dry, warm, straight and flat piece of tarmac. Let alone with double the power. Only so much mapping can do to alleviate it. Many RS owners will argue it but they are kidding themselves (coming from a former mk2 owner). Such a shame a great engine and chassis but it always needed AWD.

@@P1Fanatic It's funny how the 227bhp Escort RS Cosworth was AWD from factory....then the AWD got ditched for the MK1 Focus RS.... You'd think they would have at least offered AWD as a option on the MK2 ST and RS, especially given how the Volvo AWD parts bolt straight in and those parts were sat there on the shelf, being fitted to Volvo S40 T5's and V50 T5s with same chassis and engine.

The ST is amazing. Just the right amount of power to not be a waste in FWD mode (or a much better TC system which doesnt make it seem wasted) and a real beast in AWD. the RS would infuriate me with the constant sound of the power being cut in everything up to 4th gear (and therefore north of 100MPH). I wonder if he's kicking himself watching this back and thinking he should go get his ECU/TC redone by Sam, and maybe throw some volvo AWD parts in there too.

Massive shoutout to Jamie for making two features of this amazing machine, one with the golf R which in my book only took the roll races because he jumped lol, and now proving that an expensive RS build is pretty much useless in the real world and only worthy of flaunting HP numbers, I would take the awd ST any day and enjoy every second of it, this only makes me want another mk2 and try this but I moved to the N54 bimmer world now
