[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16219114, member: 21786"] Agreed, but they are the closest thing I could compare it to in size and what market a base model would compete in. Back then the base model had a lot of horsepower for it's weight but it was only the EVO that put out astronomical numbers and is still one of the quickest accelerating cars to date. Make the base model with about 270hp using the 2.0l EB motor, AWD, 3k lb curb weight, and a 6 speed, but then have the Ford Performance RS200EVO using the 2.3 with a forged motor and bigger turbo making 450-500hp and an option of a 6 speed or the 7 speed DCT, lighter weight with high use of carbon fiber for sub 3k lbs curb weight (target 2800lbs or less), and give it a $60-70k price tag. The EVO would be more of a GTR and 911 competitor at that point with the power to weight ratio and drivetrain layout. The base model would support most of the sales but the EVO would be the true performer and purpose of bringing the car back. There really wouldn't be much that could compete with it. The original design grows on you but they could make a new one look incredible as the overall shape of the car is really cool looking. I would love to see even a rendering of what a new one could look like. [/QUOTE]
