I’ve love Eagle Talons. Those cars always seemed like a lot of fun, but unfortunately I’ve never been in one. I had an issue of Import Tuner magazine where they got an extra 100hp out of one with very little mods. Those are some cool cars!
Here was mine. I love the white btw, ironically SB was not my first choice. I wanted a white one but it sold before I got to the dealership. Blue was my second choice!
Sometimes I flirt with the idea of getting another one (but keeping the mustang).
I spy a Focus RS.
I traded my 2017 SB in for the Mach1. I have to say the focus RS has to be one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I miss that car at times, unfortunately I found out it was totaled.
I had a Shadow Black Focus RS before getting the Mach 1. I completely understand 'Shadow Black Pollen Pearl.' I told myself no more black cars after that lol that car was perpetually dirty no matter how frequent I washed it.
I wonder what ultimately led the 'Ford bean counters' to decide it wasn't worth warrantying engines that went to the track. They must have some data on track failure rates that we do not know about. The way I see it is that they're not standing behind the quality of their product. I understand...
Wouldn’t SCCA track nights count as HPDE? If not what would you say is the difference?
It’s interesting to see that even between us there are various interpretations for what HPDE is. Some say it’s racing and others do not.
Full disclosure, I am in the camp where HPDE is not racing.
I don’t think OP thought he bought an unbreakable car. If he did, why would he buy the ESP? If anything OP knows the car could break and bought the ESP as a form of insurance against those breaks.
This makes the situation even more frustrating. Ford has a definition in which they refer to racing in the context of motorsport, but the ESP cant use that definition? So the arbitrator uses "functioning at top speed," which has an example of "people racing for safety" & "mind was racing," not...
It seems that you made a decent case and I am surprised that the ruling was not in your favor, especially after reading this summary. I'm curious how much he leaned on the definition he found from merriam-webster, specifically the part that states "function at top speed." From my quick read, I...
I do the same - I own a Mach1 and I’m ashamed to admit how often I look at GT350s :cwl:
The car may not be underpriced but it gives off demo vibes based on what you described, but I’m by no means an expert and can be totally wrong.
Can you share the link? I’m not surprised they didn’t post...
