This may be a suitable replacement for the Fiesta ST.

BTW it features a supercharged Ford Engine and a 6 speed manual is available.

Yes I would take one of those, I always wanted an AC Cobra. That looks like a nice modern version of it.

Just ordered one. I'll let you know how it compares to the FiST.

I already did one of these. (this was my second)
However, mine was a 427 big block.
I would say that it handled better than the FiST, but that was because one tire on the Cobra was as wide as all four of the FiST tires.

I was looking at factory five cars thinking they'd be fun with a high revving 4 cylinder or 6, or maybe a rotary. It would be wrong as all hell, but... I'd rather have something I can push hard without going to jail. The coyote powered ones are sweet but its not something I could really ever flog on public roads.

The Coyote is a very good choice.
The 427 FE as I had, the FE stands for Frick'n Expensive.
But then over 700 HP was a lot of fun.

That thing looks awesome. Built a factory five with my dad when I was in high school. 2500 lbs with 429 big block, no hydraulic clutch, no power steering or brakes much less any sort of traction/stability control. Too much fun

That’s one of the things I love about the fiesta, back when they were in production, they were not very expensive. Even in the used market 15k can get you a nice low mileage fiesta st.

But you just can't get car porn like this with a FiST.

Here is a shot of my Cobra naked.

I’m just going to keep copying Dave and posting cobra pics.

Here’s ours naked. Drove it around like this with no exhaust on it, just headers. It was awesome

I didn't ask what it cost!

That needed much more tire on it!!

(And yes, I know that it is almost impossible to find any capable max performance rated donuts in the 'proper' big sidewall profile needed to be authentic to the build. )

lol! i know i was agreeing with you. that was more pointing out the type of audience this car is marketed to AKA the "why would i drive a FiestaST when i can drive a Cayman RS?" crowd

edit: as in the Miata engine-swap companies are marketed to the FiestaST crowd. that roadster isn't even marketed to the "performance no matter the cost" crowd. it's marketed to the "i want what no one else has" crowd
