I'm in the minority here, but im sure there is a few who will be pleased to know that WolfUK are now turning there attention to the Fiesta ST. The kit boosts power to 170bhp (you could have guess) and has some very nice body kit enhancments which include more aggressive edges, dual exhaust pipes and a rear diffuser. Im not sure how much this will cost, but I think wolf are working with ford so your warrenty still stays intact.
I think this is great and brings features from higher priced hothatches to the ST like the diffuser for instants, although im not sure how functional is it, im hoping it is.

How well does the Fiesta sprint, handle and stop with kit like that all setup?

^^^

Well it would sprint abit quicker than standard (0-60 in 7.9) with 20bhp more. I think the suspension is changed so handling will be better no doubt, and its very good to begin with. Im not sure about the brakes, but there sorted anyway, but any improvment would be welcome as far as im concerned

Theres not much news on it yet, but im liking it.

Does the Fiesta challenge or beat out the new Mini?

^ Im not sure about the new one, but the old cooperS got a slower laptime than the ST on 5th gear at Anglesey if thats anything to go by? Im guessing the new one would probably come through the faster car over all though. The ST is crying out for more power really, it can brake and handle with the best of them, but it always falls short when you need grunt. Thats why im looking forward to this WR170

The Cooper S? No, that's a fast little car, no doubt (0-60 in 7 seconds, give or take a couple of tenths).

Nice specs, but like Dani said, rice comes to mind a bit too fast
