Oh I know, I have a fiesta ST myself for weekend driving and taking to the track; it's amazing. In fact I find it far more fun to drive than some much more expensive sports cars (specifically a F80 M3 owned by someone close to me). While it doesn't have anywhere near the driving joy it still doesn't hold a candle to the M3 on faster tracks.

For reference, the trackday club I belong to is doing a weekender trip to the nurburgrink in late october: I'm not taking the fiesta for that (also I don't want to drive 800km in it to get there).
