I was really hoping they'd put an ST badge on it. I disagree that it would devalue 'ST' as a top-trim; ST has never been a top-trim marker, as it has always sat beneath Ford Team RS in both the Mk1 Focus, Mk 2 Focus, the various Sierra and Escort nameplates in Europe, while ST has been around as a mid-level trim for…

I'm pretty sure CR did that test at Lime Rock Park, too. What's gotten into those guys!? Did someone burn their argyle sweaters and light their hair on fire?

Okay, this gif is GOLD.

I saw one on the road two days ago! I was absolutely shaken to my core that the Mirage is still a thing. Even my fiancee did a double-take.

So, let me see if I have this right... My only gripes about the F-Type were that it was a 'vert (not such a problem, as it was designed that way), and that it was auto. They addressed the first issue, and how! Now they address the other one, too?! Jaguar... I love you guys. Really.

As someone who dailies a Fiesta ST, I approve of this post. Hoon on. Phenomenal save though. But, since this was a red Fiesta ST at the 'ring, I immediately thought of Bill Caswell... Is he an Opponaut?

The only badges left on my current car are the front and rear 'ST' badges (the front one is molded into the grille, so, no options there), and they look nice enough. When my previous Ford was debadged, no one seemed to identify it correctly (even the make, which is funny, as the Blue Oval isn't exactly…

Yeah, I hear that outside the US you only get Recaros. I got mine with the regular sport seats. Which is a shame, because the sport ST seats are nice. Recaros are nice, but they have seat heaters (more weight) and I'd feel bad when I eventually remove them and put in actual buckets that are harness-friendly.

Probably one of my favorite cars. Nice job getting her back in action! I need to find one of my own someday...

Fiesta ST. My second Ford in about as many years. Friend of mine has the Fusion 2.0L ecoboost in the same color and likes it a lot too, good cars.

Hello, fellow debadged Tuxedo Black Ford Product Owner! I salute you.

Or very, very right?

Oh my god. HAH.

That's the love though. Yeah, it's money, but in the end... you wind up with that. I was going to do the same with an '88 VW Scirocco 16V but the owner of the car (which had the engine non-running from trying to install an EFI conversion) never really got in touch with me to make a deal. It's funny seeing how many…

That's okay; that Civic is badass. We never really got any of the hot Civics here though.

Cleeeeean rides.

People being foolish and willingly giving a shady-as-hell company their money isn't extortion. Fraud, to be sure. Extortion is a stretch. In any event, I'd be pretty surprised to see the Justice Dept. take much interest in extraditing an Australian national from Panama for fraud, even if some of the victims are…

Yes, export. My bad.

Right there in the article: SR is based out of Panama, which has a legal system that is as much a sham as these replicas. So unless you're suggesting the U.S. import some Freedom to Panama, it's still nothin' doin'.
