Ahh.. the A plan. A million years ago when there was a Ford Aerospace I had to deal with that. Good luck with the dealers.
Still, you get to the root of the issue. With some patience, a BMW M2 may be a reasonable cost/performance choice with ED. Maybe $50K? That and maybe a less expensive Euro will hang in there for awhile longer to make for a fun trip. The GT350 on the other hand will likely sour after a dealer visit puts the famously ethical Ford Motor in sharp contrast with a justifiably hated dealership system. That leaves the Focus RS. It may be available in enough numbers and will be confusing enough to the dealer Bubba's that the buying experience won't be so bad. If it hits $40K, then it's back to BMW. However, if it's cheap, and fast, and fun, and has as good an interior as a Golf R, then things get interesting.
