Default Re: 2010 Production Focus, what do you want to see?

You guys asking for 12" rotors need to remember that TIRES are the MOST Important. (I know you're talking "Performance Model" even though that isn't the topic. ) You don't NEED any more brakes than the tires will accommodate.
First off, the SVT's brakes are Great. Second, and Most Important, is that they are already developed. In other words, No Additional Cost to Engineer, etc.... SVT 4 wheel discs will be Fine, Thank You. We don't need brakes so big that the tires can't use them. The SVT brakes are more than Adequate, even with R-Compound tires.
They just need Proper Ventilation.

AirForceFocus, Why would we want Electro-Mechanical Steering?
I Want to Feel Each tire in my hands.
Please don't remove that by a "Drive By Wire" Interface.
If I have an air-pressure problem, or a poor balance, I want to be able to feel which tire it is IN MY HANDS, without a Video-Game Replication of force-feedback.
I want all of the REAL Feedback that I can get, without additional sensors to fail.
