Yeah, me too I dont believe in such thing as a fast 15sec car. Even if it handles like a dream.

I went out Saturday night to run a buddies Cobra on Federal HWY but that was 10pm or later but he didnt show. With the stock mufflers it is quiet though.

I was just wondering. Does your brother or the other guy feel as though they have accomplished anything besides proving that a quick 4 cylinder isn't really quick at all? I know that everyone has their own taste and to them that may be fast or whatever, but I think that if you buy an econobox, use it as such.

Sorry if that made me sound like a dick, that wasn't my intention. I'm just fed up with people driving these n/a civics and focuses (however you should spell that) and thinking they are fast. They put a cold air and a fart can and they are the hottest thing under the sun.

my Grand Mother has a Lincoln town car with an ls7 swap so what?

tell him he is epic fail for one purchasing a Ford , second a svt Focus, and 3 for having a 95 gt and wasting money modding it.

why would someone who has a decently fast car get a svt focus also? im sorry but there ugly as hell imo. the handle good for a fwd car. but will get raped also by any other rwd sports compact car. and like Unit said. it would really suck once the turns goes into a long straight and a Big Wheel is able to pull past it.

good kill and all. but this must have been an old civic si? im assuming because the new ones can run bottom 15s also. and i doubt that svt focus is a bottom 15 car.. esp with "hella" people in it

05 civic Si has 160hp 132 tq. 04 svt focus has 170 hp 135 tq. I'm really not sure how your brother pulled the guy if your brother had 3 people in his car and the civic driver was alone. Not saying it didn't happen, just not sure why it did happen.

Were you in the car? Did the civic look like this?

never said i think im fast. though id rape your ws6 ^^

and i like having a "almost stock car" and embarassing modified stangs esp POS like the mid 90's where they can have heads cams and still barely break into 12's.

or 05+ stangs with exhaust/intake and 75 shot of nitrous that gets same 60ft as me and yet he runs 13.0 to my 12.7.


im as fast as i currently need to be. ^^

Check myself...

Theres nothing wrong with fords. There is nothing wrong with small SVT foci, and there is nothing wrong with being proud for beating a car in your class.

Its funny because you dog mustangs (talking to gxppower), but my step dad has a little 3,000 98 5.0L mustang mint condition that would tear your *** up and down the street so bad you'd ball up and cry like a little girl that watched her entire family burn to death in 1 day.
