Ford's Yo!
-
I'd rather have the good gas mileage haha! But no doubt about it; they are nice cars.. But RWD isn't the best for winter driving either too if you want it to be a daily driver.

The new shelby is just a concept and they change it every damn year. The new mustang looks nice but it doesnt perform that well considering its a hefty 3450lbs. The N2O focus is alright... still should have kept the SVT.
As far as best cars under $25k the mustang is VERY FAR OFF. The SVT focus + $6000 = much much better car totaling $23k out handling the mustang and out performing it at the track with only 9psi. The SRT-4 kicks pretty much anythings ass when it comes to under 25k tho. At about $24k it puts down mid to low 13's and looks much better.
Oh and I didnt know ford could use a chevy block in their cars... a 350? And your supposed to be a ford man! DOH! More like a 351w or 351c ( windsor and cleaveland blocks )
Anyone want to test drive a new GT or Saleen? I worked there for over a year and know some people there pretty well. The Saleen would be kinda bitch to take out but the GT would be simple. And if they ever bring another used cobra in I can get a test drive in that too.

Lol I kinda figured... just had to give you some shit. Boo chevy is right... hell fuck the whole GM division.
Amicheze ill talk to some guys down there about taking a saleen out one day... I have to bring my fuckus in for some warranty work soon. I know once they get a couple more GTs I can take one out for sure. I took a roush out no questions asked... those things SUCK balls. The roush focus is even worse... and the price tag is even higher then the Saleen focus. Both are slower then the SVT and dont come with nearly as nice little additions... The SVT also has the best suspension set up.
But the Saleen is more of an elusive collector car being that there were such a small number made, and its gonna be faster if the n2o is hooked up.

They got 2 GT's in the showroom, 1 red 1 yellow. I LOVE the interior of the new GT's.
The saleen n2o they have is the exact same as mine except for the new frontend(05 focus obviously), decal(the reverse c off the mustang, boo), and interior(focus switched to square-like shapes instead of circles). For some reason on the new one they used saleen leather seats (nice seats but not really what you think of when you think "racing seats")
I think next time I'm there I'm gonna see if I can take out the 05 n2o and see if I notice any other differences. I'd also love to drive an SVT once(I heard they aren't making SVT Foci or Lightnings anymore??!?!? is this true?!)

roush>saleen
No Lightning (or Focus either I believe) from the SVT team for a couple years now by the sound of it. Putting all their effort into the 06 Cobra.
I wish they'd hold onto the Lightning and crank it up for 05 to take out the SRT10 (for $20k less)
-
SVT focus is done for... there have been rumors of a boosted version coming in 07 with all the engine work done by cosworth... which would be NICE! Although the new focus styling in europe is ugly.
SVT Lightning is still on track for an 06 release... at least from what I gather from various ford forums.
Roush IS SHIT! Crap all the way... all looks no go. The Roush Focus is priced at $27k and all it is is a 2.3pzev with an exhaust, suspension, and the rest is pure looks. Hell its only putting out 10 more hp and 10 more tq over a stock 2.3pzev.
Anyone that thinks Roush is good should be executed. SVT and Saleen put out much better cars.
-
I've never been a big fan of Roush..always thought Saleen was nicer (And this is speaking of a purely roush mustang vs saleen mustang) And obviously I liked the saleen more than the roush
the only good thing I have to say about roush is their aftermarket sales of their parts totally blows saleen out of the water. Which isn't hard to do since saleen's page doesnt even list half their stuff and the half they do list, most don't even have pictures of descriptions of the products!
Cosworth..mmm I plan on buying the Stage 1 kit this winter...don't know about stage2/3...since cosworth d power 1-3 are focused(tee hee) on NA power and I want a turbo as soon as they have a kit for the duratec engine

wow.. and I KNOW there are people that would say the same thing about someone who likes Saleen.Screw Saleen....Steve's got a bad rep out there with the way he runs business...
(and the ugly ass domestic rice body kits on their cars)I'll agree, SVT puts out good cars....hell the best of the 3 IMO (especially since the unveiling of the 03)
on the SVT L....
"It's a business decision," said Alan Hall, SVT spokesman. The official line is that the Lightning has been "postponed," and not killed, but if it is revived, it will be 2008 or later before we see one. -
At least saleen adds performance to their cars. I havent seen a roush car yet that was fast. Saleen adds speed along with their rice bodykits.... Roush is purely RICE and uglier then saleen. Both are over priced and ugly... but at least the Saleen can go faster then the roush.
