Time for True Confessions. I've got the dealer trying to find an ACR for my daughter. I figured it would be "ours." ....her's for school and our's for autocrossing. After reading the Grassroots Motorsports mag article, I am convinced it is faster than the SVT at an autocross. It is also G stock, unlike the more expensive Focus SVT and V Spec that are D Stock against the Type R. eek The new SRT-4 will be D Stock as well, I will wager. With its heavier 2.4 liter turbo and R/T suspension vs. the better ACR competition suspension, it will be about even in autocrossing except on fast courses.

If they can't find me an ACR in time to get 2 grand cash back, then I may wait for the SRT-4. It looks mighty good at $19,995 plus limited options....plus extended warranty unless we luck out and get the 7/100K. BTW, svtcarboy, that warranty DOES cover the powertrain...for now.
