A Focus ST with ST3 package is already $29k. Add in the rumored AWD and more power, on a super exclusive model, and I may be low on my price estimate.

1600cc Mini Cooper S reset before a lapping session.

I think that's based on imperial (UK) gallons, but yeah, still up there even corrected for US mpg.

I know, I couldn't resist using that image.

That's a little unfair, as the regular Focus seems every bit as nice as a regular Impreza, but I suspect a lot of people feel the same way.

STi starts at $34k.

Zeod RC? 1.5L turbo, ultra low drag, and designed to do one full lap of every stint under pure electric power recovered from braking.

Man, all you excited people are going to really change your tune when you see a $37k price tag on a Focus.

911 powered Beetle.

People don't buy a 911 because it's faster than a Cayman. People buy a 911 because it's a 911, and a Cayman is not a 911.

Right here?

You and one other person agrees.

Time for a Fiesta ST.

How much is it worth compared to MSRP?

Anything with extensive mods, especially engine swaps.

I see so many stories like this. I guess I should feel lucky that I'm at 160k and still loving mine.

I'd own one if I could consider it a static model just for looking at. But I just know any sort of driving is going to end in something either A) needing adjustment or B) flat out breaking.

Any Maserati. Beautiful, fantastic, soulful cars.

I so, so want to drive an Alfa GTA.

First thing I buy when I win the lottery isn't my ultimate dream car (993 Turbo,) it's a Morgan Three Wheeler.
