Hey /o/
Test drove both of these today and I really don't understand the hype for the Focus RS. Other than the fact that nitrous blue is an amazing paint color and that the exterior is more interesting overall, I was kind of disappointed.
In the RS the feeling of everything was a little more direct and the cornering did feel a little less, artificial? maybe. I felt like the VW was pushing me to hold a specific line more. Overall though the driving dynamic difference between them was so small and the VW was so much better in every other way possible.
Am I missing something or did everyone just fall for the hype with the RS?

It also probably didn't help that the dealership experience with the RS was predictably shit. I had to work to convince them to let me try it and even then it was a boring test drive mostly around town. Salesman at VW offered to let me take the R out and we brought it on some nice backroads and really put it through its paces.

The RS is overhyped and overpriced.
That said, it's performance is respectable.

RS is overhyped.
Golf R is in a totally different league quality wise. Living with the Golf R every day is much better. Also simple mods will make the R faster than the RS (Tune + Downpipe = 330awhp)

Okay, as far as I understand rotaries produce more power per rotor then a cylinder does per cylinder.
So my question is why the fuck are 2 rotor wankels put against V6 and V8s?
Also strictly for race purposes, why don't they stick in a 4 rotor wankel and let it compete against 4 cylinders.
Wankels seem like such an alluring and potential design for all the power in racing and alongside a reliability.

You said it yourself
>rotaries produce more power per rotor than a cylinder does per cylinder
Cars are placed against each other based on power output, among other things.
A 1,200 HP quad rotor monster of a rotary isn't going to be competing against dinky little 250 HP turbocharged I4s. There's just far too much of a power difference.

1 rotor = 3 combustion chambers

Yeah they're so reliable they have to be completely torn down and rebuilt after every single race

You underestimate the time and volume that this car has been in production. Italy, Soviet Union, Russia, India, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Korea, Egypt, spanning 38 years. 17 million were built in the Soviet Union and Russia alone.

So here we have the 80's and 90's where the Japs are constantly pumping out decent 4 bangers and other sporty cars then suddenly when it hit the 00's it just grinded to a halt and we didn't see anything special or noteworthy for atleast a decade, what went wrong?

Combination of safety regulations and lack of competition

Safety regulations, emissions regulations.

why spend money on cars that dont sell when it comes to expensive halo cars
otherwise
if the 2000s made nothing special or noteworthy then the 80s and 90s didnt either since it was more of the same shit

Look at the edge of the disc, compare that to bottom of the gearbox, note at the runout (and the vibrations):

What are some of the hallmarks of a negro-owned car other than the chrome wheels and Nissan dealership stickers?
