Hi, Guest
All I have to say is that they could have started with "just" a Ralliart Lancer and made it fair. But they didn't. If anything about the stock cars comes into play at all in the judging, the Focus either has the most to gain or the most to lose.
Stock EVO - near godlike. Who cares what pimp panels get slapped onto it, it's just fearsome. Children will be s***ting themselves if they're trying to cross the street and one of the new EVO Xs come ripping by. :ph34r:
Mini - quite the little track day car when done right and it doesn't need much to get it there. A bit more boost won't kill it (at least during the course of a photo/video shoot), who cares what happens afterward. It's too cute to successful turn into something mean-looking, but at least they can improve on the curb appeal. Hopefully. :lol:
Focus - Randy, I hope you brought a horseshoe, the horse and a whole f***ing stable with you. You're going to need it. It's not that it needs a turbo (which it does), cause the turbo is cake. This is year 6 for the Duratec with FI as far as FS is concerned. It's actually making it work with a weaker-for-tuners platform that poses a problem... a huge one. Doubly so if Ford has f***ed with the suspension again, rendering it incompatible with 06-07 suspension bits.
Where's my "impending doom" smiley? :iono:
