....ive never really been a ford guy.... but .... mmmmmmm that cobra is sick.....

**stressfreesoul** · 09-04-2008, 12:16 PM

I love my Fords. Its all my dad ever had. He's presently driving a Fiesta ST (150Bhp, 2.0litre) fast for a little motor. I think if I ever had the money to run one, I'd source an RS500

or Sapphire Cosworth.

They may look all boxy and old compared to the modern day equivalents, but they certainly still have a lot of character.

Nice to finally meet someone with a car other than a domestic.

Nice mods btw

NickNorth11 · 09-13-2008, 05:47 AM

^Haha. It sounds like you're from a place like me. I live near Detroit, where everyone drives a domestic and is DAMN proud of it. They'll also let you know that "you're putting people out of jobs by buying foreign." Anyway, thanks.

I've been driving for 18 years now and had 11 different cars in that time. The first 10 of those were Hondas, but after 15 years of driving the same make of car it was time for a change.

In 12/05, I bought my current car- a 2006 Mazda3 s 5-door. Even after almost three years, I love it. In about five months, I'll have owned it longer than I've did any of my previous cars.

Mazda isn't lying with the whole "Zoom Zoom" thing- it's plenty quick (5-speed manual) but the handling is the really fun part! I don't even bother to slow down for most curves....brakes are still like new, but I am on my second set of $800 tires!

Luda · 09-15-2008, 09:22 PM

i actually whent the other way, whent from imports to domestics, and i love my camaro... gonna love it even more in a couple months when i spray it.

and, well theres something about the sound of an american motor that attracts the women.

for instance:

and for the cobra lovers:

5.0L crate racing motor, with a few grand in mods, 3 years of suspension tuning, and new this season... a supercharger. thing was balls fast and loud as hell

NickNorth11 · 09-16-2008, 06:24 AM

I dig some domestics. I dig anything powered by an LSx. Also, I love the sound of v8 stangs. My next project car will be a vette. (Gotta love a full-frame car).

Those are great and all, but owning a 4 banger is worth it every time I stomp a v8. I was on the highway yesterday and an older viper came rolling up behind me. I wanted to bust his *** so bad. But the highway split and he went the other way. Oh well, there are plenty of "exotics" around my town, so I'll have another chance soon!

HawMan · 09-17-2008, 07:53 AM

actually he didnt, he ran 4 perfectly clean runs, and had the fastest time of the day [beating the viper, 7 porches, and whole bunch of BMW M's, and a hodge podge of other vehicles] he had a 45.2 second run, and the second fastest was a 91 BMW 325iS [with a completly stock motor] with a 47.1 second run.

said 325iS

kcaternolo · 10-30-2008, 12:05 PM
