Ideas for Gymkhana number 10 or 11, how about a celebration of Ford racing featuring multiple guest cars/truck? have whatever block drives run along side a Trophy truck, their Mustang Formula Drift car, the Ford GT, etc etc.

and just for kicks, paint Block’s car a particular shade of blue for an old school throwback.

adds more proof to my theory that his odd numbered productions are better than the even number ones, not his best (would have to beat number 5) but way better than 6 and 8.

im pretty sure its the Focus RSX thingy that he debuted this year

fuck people that call that hotline

Gym 5 had hands down, in my opinion, his best driving and shots of said driving.

Why on earth is this still making news? They found the remains of her and the Co-pilot, case closed mystery solved, let her rest in peace for crying out loud.

Saw it in theaters, and i swear everyone that had when i was there left the parking lot in loud, smoky burnouts while howling at the top of their lungs (myself included)

its like it taps into the primal Hoon in all of us car guys.

at this point i really dont think they have much of a choice in the matter if they want to stay competitive with the rest of the world out there.
yes, its been teased for years and years and years on end. no one could possibly try to argue with that. at the same time, the pressure of performance has never been higher,

Because going mid engine would allow for substantial increases in potential performance that the front layout just can’t handle.

I’d back it, basically a cheaper GM sourced version of the 4c

I could see that at launch, but given the resulting “special editions” that launched with a pittance of upgrades for premium money someone should have stood up for it

see this makes me wonder though, why were optional shoes never offered at the factory? keep the shit tires for those who want to be jr hoon-ers, then have proper performance tires for the more experienced driver?
further, i think that lack of focus is part of what hurts the sales. The Miata nor the St are lacking in

Shit, really making me drag up my memory here but I’m pretty sure you’re right.

Not exactly good either especially given the 151 lbs of torque, which is bloody pitiful. And then the compromised tire package from the factory which made it easy to slide around but meant it looses a track battle to a FiST.

So I hear, budget allowing I'd like to nab the 2.5 but the base was not a bad car at all

when they came out the Miata was a couple of grand cheaper. cant really compare the ND given the languishing development of the Twins since their launch

loyalty, being the only name down there for years and years, in addition to being a genuine joy to drive will generate that.

the twins also didnt exactly offer an improvement over the Miata and were more expensive.

having driven several of the 3 hatches, i found the base motor a bit lacking in the delivery department, but dear GOD that car could take a corner well (for a set of basic wheels).

never got to take the 2.5 for a spin cause it was out of my budget but i can imagine what the extra 20 hp would do for it. and that shifter

oooor, those Enthusiasts just don’t buy the Japanese who have neglected the market for so long they’ve become forgotten.

the better part of 30 grand isnt exactly cheap given the level of performance you were getting.
