Honestly how the heck is this crap even news anymore. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY. Takes a Mustang GT and straps the SAME EXACT Roush TVS blower on them that Ford Racing sells and warranties and acts like they’ve created something original. Kinda makes me not at all wish having a Mustang.

well it’s kind of dopey since SVT, Team RS, FPV and Ford Racing were all rolled together instead of being seperate to give us what is now known as “Ford Performance” and even have new cars billed as being under the Ford Performance banner such as the ST’s (which were SVT in the US, and Team RS in the UK) the Focus RS…

cannot upvote this enough. New rider here on a Triumph and I just am not anything like the “harley culture” that I think they’re clowns.

Exactly. I just bought a Triumph Bonneville Street Scrambler, and it’s so freakin’ sublime that I already envision myself tossing more off-road capable tires on it and getting a Thruxton R to pair with it.

despite having the same wheel and tire sizes, tire brands, all suspension and brake components as well as engines and transmissions?

You realize that Firebirds were basically badge engineered 100% from the third generation on, right?

they were referring to the 3rd gens with 305s

3200 wasn’t heavy for then and is lightweight now. Hell the 1982 Camaro and 2002 Camaro are the same weight, both around 3200.

and regardless of the performance this is still a Mercury.

Meh. For the money, a Chevrolet SS is a far superior car, and isn’t from the end of the garbage era of Ford.

Funny as I read this I am less than 48 hours from taking my riders safety course. I have never ridden a “real” motorcycle. Only dirtbikes and that was as a kid, 20 years ago. Hell I’ve only ridden a bicycle once in the last decade. That said I’ve invested $100 in riding boots, $120 in knee guards and gloves, a…

looks like the outgoing MkIII Focus and the current Scirocco had a baby while the next gen Fiesta and current gen Golf watched.

I started off reading this getting hella triggered. lol. Then at the end I was like HELL YEAH, GIRL POWER!

last season - 2002 high
this season - 1460 high. :-(

Intrigue - W-Body (Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Impala, Regal)
Alero - N-Body (Grand Am, earlier Cutlass, Malibu)

W-Bodies in most could have the Supercharged 3800 Series II/III @ 240hp and were a suberb front drive modding platform at the time. They would be full leather, head up display, and was a large midsize.

The…

used 2016 Focus RS. Problem solved, forever.

meanwhile the ATS-V isn’t even invited to the show despite it not breaking down.

L32/L67 swap + turbo w/ cam upgrade and it’s an instant 11/12 second front drive convertible.

I was going to say the same exact thing! I’ve been on my spouse recently to sell their 2015 BMW S1000R. Their for sale ad couldn’t be any more half assed.

uuh, the current generation doesn’t have a wagon at all. You’re thinking of the 08-13 generation.

This story is EXACTLY how my household went from having a new ‘16 Roush Mustang Convertible, a ‘16 Focus RS, and a ‘15 BMW S1000R to now forever being stuck juggling one car (the RS) and the motorcycle. Turns out that paying nearly $2,000 in vehicle payments a month sucks when your house that you’re living in also…
