I dont know how you can say that when you drive a s***ty handling boat. :P

I'm pretty sure the GXP will hand the Focus it's ASS :)
And I am talking about Performance, which in this case when talking about a SRT-4, is STRAIGHT LINE.
But You're right about the GTP, a 11 second 4 door boat is slow :unsure:
the new car will be much better. :ph34r:

on some twisties? I'll put money on my car Jay. Seriously....and I never said it was SLOW. I know what you can do to cars. ;)
Straight line cars are boring...reason why I dont buy boats or neons.
I'm trying to recall how many WRC's the grandprix was in & won :P :lol:
What are you getting now anyways?

If only the hood didn't flap like the wings on a Dash 8 going through serious turbulence. Actually, all their new "small" cars are bad for body/hood shake. It's quite sad. :(
I just hope no one here ever gets into an accident driving a rental Pursuit. There is so much hard plastic on the front of one of those... the shards would do more damage to you than the actual impact.

1)dude, ur driving a focus....its not a chick magnet either

1 - Not saying it's a chick magnet or not, 'cause pretty much anything under the $40-50,000 rangeisn't going to attract women. Besides, the kind of girls who attracted only because of the stature of a car aren't the type of girls I want around anyway.
2- I'm basing that on my observation of pretty much every srt4 I've seen has been thouroughly beat on. A buddy of mine used to be a tech for Chrysler and he said that the biggest recomendation to the owners of srt4's on their first service was to replace the front tires. These cars were bought by the younger crowd (not stereotyping) who wanted to compete with modded imports, that's why the car was made. Not that many guys in their early 20's can afford a 'Stang or 'Vette or Viper, etc. etc.

I would like to have my '88 coupe again. Exhaust sytem, pulleys, and 2.73:1 gears (not 3.73's) were good for 13.1 @ 108 mph at the track. And only one tranny and one clutch in 5 years of 6000 rpm launches.

At the end of the day, you don't see Dodge winning the Manufacturer's Title in WRC. A Neon is still a Neon, and I really don't give a s*** if it's any faster than I am or not.
