if you're replying to my focus/fiesta comment, that was pure sarcasm. If not, then I can't keep up with where tiger is directing all these replies.

I drove one at a ford event, a 2.0 titanium. Nice car, not what I'd consider a performance car.

the DSG in the focus is shit so if they do it better be a totally new design.

warranty!

nobody has been buying those manual trans focus and fiesta ST's either

its not the same weight as a fiesta though, and I don't think the 2.0 ecoboost has the same power as the one in the ST.

if we're calling it the ST lets call it the mondeo ST

what they need to do is drop in the 2.0 ecoboost with the same power as the focus ST + the 6spd manual and call it the "SVT Fusion"

nope, dislike, dislike!

I am trying to talk my friend into turning his 86.5 928S into a rallycar. As a professional automotive journalist who obviously has rallycross staff volunteer experience, is this a good idea or a great idea?

Did you actually enter this?

And where was this? I want to rallycross!

The RAM owner did the right thing, he actually took action since the police obviously couldn't catch the kid after 3 tries. Not only was he an off duty cop, but his kids and wife were there as this asshole in the veloster was speeding through.

"so you hit your grandmother?"
"yeah, I beat her ass"

its to bad the Ram driver was an off duty cop who had kids in the park. Totally just overcompensating for a small dick for sure.

its hard to say what he is since he's 14 and can't vote

Thats Ben Treynor's car, you know the google exec who put bread on his Mclaren and SVT Raptor?

Michael I have a Mercury myself and I agree with you, from the 90's on out the brand got really pointless. The 99-02 cougar was a joke, such a joke that the older cougar enthusiasts don't even acknowledge it exists. The whole point of Mercury was supposed to be higher luxury than Ford but lower cost than Lincoln. But…

yep, I once got a ticket for "racing the engine" which was a 2 point careless driving ticket because I accelerated to fast off a light. I didn't even hit the 50mph speed limit when I did it either.

Call me back when the miata makes the "10 best cars for burnouts" list on jalopnik. Doing donuts with 3mm of sidewall as your contact patch doesn't really count.

wider than normal tires? these stance kids usually put a 195-205 tire on a 9-10" wide wheel. Even worse is when they mix in -6deg camber and are riding on 3mm of sidewall as a contact patch. Its not hard to spin the tires when you barely have any tire to spin.
