That's near 1LE performance for $10K less, base price.

I highly doubt that its was going to post a sub 3 minute time, it might have posted a 3:15 lap time or a hair faster then that but sub 3 minutes....
So you think that the Focus ST is faster then the BOSS 302 LS and Shelby GT500 with 662BHP around VIR?..... (want what you are smoking).
The bang for the buck here would be the 1LE Camaro, for $37,000 there is no car that will put down a faster lap time stock that is sold in the US. Not only did every car that has posted a faster lap time then the 1LE Camaro cost more but, on the back end of that you need to drop down by around 25 spots to find a car that is cheaper and slower. Everything on down is more expensive and slower then it........ it beat the Lexus ISF, BMW M3 coupe, even the old Porsche 911 turbo (996 or 997 I am not sure).
Also on the big list, out of the op 10 cars on that list 5 are using small block chevy V-8 engines.......
