Not directly. All it takes is a little bit of metal to tear off the valves and wedge into the right place, then that can definitely eject a rod.

That's what I'm wondering... unless he's running individual electric motors powering each cam, you couldn't have a cam lock up because of a sensor failure. What's far more likely, on an engine making that amount of power, it may well be running variable cam timing that even w/in the realm of variation could cause…

Or, for about $18k, you can do real racing in a dedicated spec class in one of the most iconic race cars in the world.

And you're also getting raped by your insurance company. That would be totally insane.

100% agreed.

I'm guessing you haven't been in a Mustang. I'd love to know what in there you consider "garbage."

Because it is? Not sure where you're getting your Mustang numbers from, the GT weighs in at just 3400lbs. So, one is an extremely unbalanced FWD sport compact, and one is an extremely well balanced muscle car that outperforms the M3.

You bought a $30k Focus?! LOL.

Depends what you want it for. And, if you want Focus because it has 4 doors and more space, there are still better options.

If you're buying a car for hauling a baby, and you're looking at a Focus ST, you're retarded. No offense.

Mileage is definitely better, I'll grant that part. Better cargo space? No way. The Mustang's trunk is huge, then you could even lay down the back seats. Better build quality? It's a Ford product in basically the same price range... please do tell how you figure that.

California's Highway 1 is amazingly epic. If you've got to pick a single spot, how about Monterrey? Just a few minutes from Laguna Seca, and well known as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Highway 1 winds along the coastal mountains, offering unbelievable views at nearly every turn, tremendous various…

You can get a Mustang GT for that price. Nearly twice the HP, plus it even drives the correct wheels.

Auburn, AL isn't half bad for a car... or better, a motorcycle.

If you're buying a $29,000 Focus, you're a moron.

SHANTJ!!!!!

Rest assured, then: they're working on it.

They're better than us at everything.

... what?
