Fiesta is economy car I can believe that. 1998 don't really qualify for modern vehicle discussion.

My cruze tranny is fine....it's the motor that has been in limp mode 3 times for the same fix. And now it leaks oil a bit. It's off warranty now so wut evs.

My dmax is awesome except the back up camera is junky and it drinks alot of DEF.

Old news. Z06 doing that since 07.
There's a guy that used to live here who now just lives a few hours from Mike and has been bottom 10s on his stock 07 blower.

30,000+ people over the last 3 years surveyed. Problems per 100 vehicles sold. Ford is nearly the worst in the country.

Just stating the facts. Read the article.

This was nearly the same result the last two years I read this study. Ford is always right near the bottom.

Again...im just stating the facts.

I don't hate ford. I would buy one over many other brands. Its just funny some that talk about GM quality issues. They've almost always been historically better than Ford or Chrysler any given timeframe.

Ford damn near worst in the world just like it was the last few times I checked this study. While GM wins 8 awards and winning segments. No brand from GM not above average.

Waiting for the excuse train...
Failure Of Research & Development or just FORD for short.

I saw 7 Ford fleet strokes unloaded only to load five right back up and send back! One of my best friends is THE Ford fanatic. You should have seen the disappointment in his poor eyes. It was probably just a coincidence though.

No manufacturer is perfect. And I own more newer GM than Fords.

Lets get back to why the sis gen ZL1 is a flop.

Third place is good ammirite?

Oh and to top it off it's still the motor that came with the car. I forget how dumb you really are sometimes. A 2.1 m122 is far worse then a 1.9 TVS. A zl1 with one probably couldn't break 600whp without a cam or head work.
All the deflections and excuses possible in 1 post right there. So the furd is slower with a larger blower.....that's all you had to say.

Just count yourself lucky i don't mess with boost. Hell you're not even out of bolt on na territory yet

I'm pretty sure Ford did it with the 13+ GT500 to stay away from the GGT, C6Z probably did the same....something ZL1 has never been able to do, even with highway gears.

PS. Why is it always the dwarfs that are upset the most? Poor Hio and his lil man retarded syndrome.
So it was suck a turd you knew you better change something brfore you ran it.....that's all i got outta that post.

I'll never forgive Ford for the DCT in Focus/Fiesta and mt82 woes.

Our fleet is slowly getting rid of the Focus cars and the values of course are in the *******. Few cars with 30k miles and now on their 3rd set of transmission clutch packs

You're probably the lucky one for not going to boost. The way you talk about it, it would be a complete disaster

Something something, blower efficiency?

Nah, the plan was to mod it as soon as I got it, and I stuck to my plan. Your ol lady must have read the post to you, no way you could have even understood that much without her help.

He has a blower car, hasn't put a proper toon on in in 3 years. He is deathly afraid of boost because his lil retarded pea brain will never be close to understanding any of it.

Maybe he'll hit a legit 10 after 3 years of modding his hackfish since it's last track day.... maybe.

His fox could be fast if he would give it some love. To embarrassing for him to own a mod car faster than his camaro though. Easier to let it sit and not take it to the track.

No they make more power with the same size blower. 5.8 > 5.4 > Ls9. Sure put a blower on it I already beat the ls6 record hp car You think you can slap a blower on and run 9s lmao. It would either go boom or would be a turd because you are afraid of real fuel.
