I bet it felt like a running of the special olympics. That's what I feel like everytime I race my DD against anything
Since you are new to the site, let me just throw a word of caution your way, do you see the red letters in units name? Those mean he is an admin here. Don't **** him off unless you want to be epic owned.

It's not, but it's not romper room either. LS1Tech isn't a rIc3R board.
We actually have intelligent, mature people here...and that's how we
like it.

Anyway...enough of that. Good kill and back on topic.

A buddy of mine had a SVT Focus. They are nice little daily drivers
for sure, but it's damned near impossible to make them fast without
an engine swap. I've seen several turbo "Foci" running in the old
Focus Frenzy class at Fun Ford Weekend (I think it was FFW anyway)
and they couldn't even get out of the 14's.

Good kill, but was it a new SI? Those aren't "fast," but they're quicker than SVT-Fs. Especially when the Focus has 3 passengers. Is your brother's car modded?

those cars are amazing all around cars. they are comfortable and the handling is incredible. they have been called future classics because they really pushed the bar for factory performance tuned compacts. i'm sure you know there is more to a car than straight line performance. i'd love one day to own one.

I hope that does not mean he was actually racing with people in the car.

Sure there is, but if a car corners like it's on rails and it can't get
out of it's own way then what's the point? 15's and handling ability
is worthless to me.
