Something else you are missing is the size of the turbo.

My FoST for example flows upwards of 23psi but at 2700rpm and that is where it makes alot of Torque, but run that turbo out to 6500rpm and it is only flowing 14psi.

Change the turbo on the FoST to a bigger turbo like the GTX2867R and at 23PSI near redline is it…

I have a 2016 ST (ST1 base model) with 45k miles and it sees plenty of hard driving, many autox events, and at least 6 track days in the past year. The car has been absolutely reliable and actually runs better after it has been driven hard.

Since you are in the Atlanta area, you are in a great group of people if you decide to buy an ST. We also have a fantastic Cobb tuner in our ranks if you decide to up the level of your fun.

I bought the car with the Eagle F1 summers and they lasted me the winter from Dec 2015 to 2016 and I just replaced them about 8k…

As an owner of a Focus ST I can tell you that it is a fantastic car.

I have a 2016 with 34k miles on it already. It sees daily Atlanta Traffic, track days, autox, mountain runs. It is hands down a fantastic all around vehicle.

It was a 1998 R1, he claimed 128hp to the rear wheel. Sure it wasn’t far from stock but it was crap in this comparison.

My FZ-09 is 847cc Triple and it makes 115-118hp at the rear wheel. The newer liter bikes are pushing 200+ at the crank and are even lighter.

My bike has a 847cc 3cylinder that makes 106HP and 61TQ at the wheel before a tune and other upgrades

I bought a CPO 2013 Ford Focus SE (not the ST) and that thing has a fantastic engine noise, my friend knows when I am getting on it from down the street. He has even took it down the street so I could hear from outside the car. The car is completely stock except the stereo.

The bike is built out of a crate, whenever you buy a bike the first thing you should do after getting it home, is go over everything and adjust it. I adjusted the throttle free-play, clutch free-play, mirrors, even the suspension.

As an owner of an FZ-09, the bike is Cuckoo, it is faster than most bikes 0-60 and has faster 1/4mile times than some of the big liter bikes.

As a person who commutes in Atlanta (car and motorcycle) he would flip his lid if he drove in our rush hour traffic, these are tiny things everyone does everyday. He flips out about someone u-turning in a neighborhood entrance?

This makes me think of my 07 Ford Ranger, the truck is the barebones base model. (2.3l 4cyl, 5spd manual, vinyl seats, roll down windows) in fact the only power features are the brakes, steering, and hydraulic clutch.

Truck has 175k miles on it, and everytime I start it up it is ready to go. I drive it hard and it…

Everytime I see someone comment about a potato the damn GladOS voice comes into my head from Portal 2.

Watch for reference.

The Ford Ranger!

Ford had to stop making it for a reason..


/sarcasm

I beg to differ!

I agree with the Ford 4.9L/300 Straight 6. Ford used this engine for many years. We currently have one in a Ford F150 that has over 240k original miles, only work that has ever been done to the motor in this time was a rear seal and a valve cover gasket. I also have a friend with a 78 F100 that has a carbed version of…

The Lima 2.3L was an amazing motor, I know some of the Ranger versions had Dual Plugs per Cylinder, they are are quite fond of being boosted.

I will just leave this here!

I live near Atlanta Motor Speedway, on Fridays they do Friday Night Drags. $20 and a proper helmet you can bring your car and do a couple warm-up drags down Pit Row (~ 1/8th mile) and then enter into your class and drag race among others.
