Mazdaspeed 3 Vs Ford Focus ST Mk2 Turbo

Lookwise, I'd go with the focus. I don't know about handlingwise though. The mazda has better stats, but I hear the focus is great around a track.

The handling shouldnt be significantly different between them. Theyve both got the same platform so its just basically down to the fine tuning.

Indeed. That's why I favor Mazda... they do know how-to (not saying Ford doesn't, on the contrary), and that limited slip diff should make it better.

Well the engines are different, so their weight should also influence the handling.

Well the MSP3 in its debut review for MotorTrend mag. The MSP3 smacked around a 2006 WRX in every catagory of the track. Im sure if the MSP3 can take out a WRX it should be no problem to jerk around the Focus RS. ^__^;
