Hehehe, My friend's dad fitted an air filter and Bluefin to their ST170, giving it an extra 7-9 BHP (according to my friend) and when they had to get something fixed in their car by ford, they did the same thing
Parents: Ford Mondeo TDCI 2.0L 130HP
Brother-in-law: Ford Mondeo 2.0L (so the same without turbo)
Sister: Ford Fiësta
Me: Probably gonna get an old Escort or Focus, something like that, I'll tell in about 4-5 months
Nice little car, 30 MPG, skidpad has to be near maita range and it sits 5 very comfortably =)
Did I mention 0-60 in less than 6 seconds and 1/4 mile times in the high 13's =) Not bad for a car bought new with extened warrenty and ACR packaging for less than 25k USD. Everything you see is factory, including the BBS rims.
ohh yeah it does, my cousin has a 99 z28 and I walk away from him. THe stock skidpad is .88 with the ACR I get bigger tires and I can adjust my shock rates with stiffer sway bars. I think it's close to the Mazda Miata. Porshe Carra 4 is about the same, I am just FWD.
TY, yeah it's a nice suprise =) Though people still say it's JUST a neon.( which by the way there is almost nothing on the car that is a neon besides the chassis and the 1/4 panels, the rest is all SRT-4)
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=5754 On page 4 is a pic of the SRT-4 Power curve. I searched for years, no other 4 cylinder I could find produces this kind of power figures, IMO perfect for road circuit racing.
they do look nice lowered, but it comes tokico adjustable struts and I would have to find a replacement because lowering it would change how the shock would work at least thats how I see it. besides I lower it and I ruin the nice ride I have, this thing rides so nice, it's stiff but it's not harsh( like the camaro) and you can drive all day in the car ( drove 15 hours in one day in it from florida to Wisconsin, only problem I had was staying awake =P)
Hehehe, at first i thought it was a standard neon with diff wheels but it's actually a 2.4 Turbo... compared to the standard neon's 2.0... I like the SRT's... The Ram is OMG!!! Amazing!! The sound!! lol
But ford is something completely different, ford rules
It really does, you can get the top version of the mondeo, wich has enough power to have a nice drive, enough comfort to fall asleep, and luxuery is no problem either... For that price you have the lowest, step-in BMW with half the options
When you say AMERICAN CARS, do you mean all american cars?? When i said american cars i meant the ones actually made in america and are standard i.e. the old cadillacs etc... It's a bit harsh saying that all american cars are unable to go round a corner...
But it's a FORD!!! A FORD!!! It's not a DRIVER'S car, it's literally a CAR whereas BMW make the M5 and various other great cars... the M5 does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!!! that's supercar times! And it's a SALOON!!!!
