    I finally get it. The bean score has nothing to do with 0-60 or 0-100. The only thing it depends on is how much the car tickles Sarah’s bean generator.

And I came from a moderately modded 2008 GT500 (547 RWHP).

    Sarah, I don't care what Scotty Kilmer says about car reviewers, your reviews are superb! They're objective, factual and sprinkled with just the right amount of humor and cuteness. Keep it up. I happen to own one of these "bad chickens;" an 18 in Race Red. I think I got the last red one in San Diego? I love the hell out of driving this car. Mine also has the cold air intake and popping exhaust; all I need to complete it is the tune. I thought you were going to give this car two beans, but you surprised me with three beans! I'm very happy about that, seeing as how you're the bean score expert! Too bad you didn't have a chance to try out the "drift stick." I've heard that those are a kick in the butt to play with. Love your channel.

    As funny as always. Like your kind of reviews so much. The Focus RS is a great car and to my mind really fast. It’s not clear by now if there will be a new RS in Europe. By the moment there is only the 2019 ST with the 2.3 Ecoboost and 280 hp. Because of environmental laws its harder to get that much power, also because of otto partical filter in direct injection cars. That brought the Mustang Ecoboost down from 317 hp in 2016 to 280 now.

    The early RS had stiff suspension. That was changed with the mid-17 model. Much more comfortable afterwards. I own an '18 and installed a DSC suspension and module. It wasn't better than stock as a daily so sold the suspension and reinstalled the stock suspension. It's not the best of the best, but there are still lots of smiles per mile and I never tire of driving it.
