Fast Ford's Fiesta ST
The latest addition to the Fast Ford fleet.
This 2-litre Fiesta ST has been supplied by fordpartsplus.net, part of the Lookers Group, and we’ve got it for the next 18months.
We’ve been punting around in it for the last few weeks and it’s reminded us just how good a car the Fiesta ST is. It’s fast, very nimble, is a proper laugh to drive and it’s hard not to use the loud pedal when the road’s clear.
As you’d expect it won’t be staying standard for long. Unfortunately trying to decide on the exact spec is tricky, as we’ve all got slightly different ideas on what we should do. What we all agree on is that it’s definitely not going to be a stripped-out track car, but instead a well modified Fast Road car with plenty of pace and distinctive looks. Lower, faster and meaner is the way to go, but not at the expense of driveability.
To make things a bit more interesting, we’d love to hear what you think. While we know roughly what direction we’re going to head in, it would be good to see/hear any suggestions you may have, so feel free to e-mail us at fastford@futurenet.com with your input, whether it be a list of mods, a drawing in your best crayon, or a full-on CAD design.
