I concur. The Fiesta ST is an amazing deal. For driver enjoyment, I'd match it up against anything sub $30k (and, yes, that includes the Mustang Ecoboost). In fact, I'm pretty sure I'd personally prefer the Fiesta ST over the Mustang Ecoboost as a DD. It's an awesome enough car that I'm saving...

The listings on Ford used cars (from dealers) are absolutely insane. I wouldn't read into the list price of a used car too much as they're going to move quite a bit on that price. The truth is that they're hoping you'll offer a fair price and they'll "meet you in the middle" for the sale. But if...

The FR-S/BRZ have electric power steering and drive by wire as well. It's more to do with the tuning of those components and the lightness of the car. I really hope no one takes offense to any comments made in comparison with the twins. I test drove one and it blew my socks off. There is no...

Frankly, I hate that anti-feature for manual driven cars. There are few better ways to make a manual car harder to drive than to require the driver to effectively learn how to drive with three (eco, normal, sport) different throttle pedals and switch with them on the fly. Basically, you're...

AFAIK a lot of people say XBone, regardless of whether they like it or not. It's a convenient shorthand. It's not always used as a "jab", it's just a "clever" shortening because typing out "X Box One" is ridiculous. XBO sounds worse (like eXtreme Body Odor) plus it's absolutely too close to...

I've never implied you were paranoid. I mostly agree with you. The one thing I don't agree with is that this is a "kill switch" for your property. The thing you've described gives you no choice in the matter and you destroy the data regardless. You will (likely?) not want to delete the data in...

Well, either way. IMO, it's a bad idea because it could potentially help you to have the data. The idea is to make it voluntary to give it up. If the other guy says "he was going way too fast" and your data box is blanked with no backup it'll make you look guilty as hell. The problem is in the...

First off, burntire, you keep glossing over the part that scottpe has a problem with which is the comment that a *stock* Mustang auto will get .5 seconds over a manual. He has said many times that he expects a modded Mustang to be that much faster as an auto, but not a *STOCK* Mustang...

Not likely. If you encrypt it with a public key only you can decrypt it with your private key. They could if they go to your house and seize whatever device you stored your private key on but I doubt they'd go that far unless you did something really terrible like pass a stopped school bus and...

Deleting it is probably a bad idea. If, for instance, you were doing everything 100% correctly in the event of a crash, that data could be used to back you up that you weren't the cause of a crash. A better solution would be something that encrypts the data in the event of a crash. If you're...

Twinscroll = Turbo Edit: Oh, I see. He said blower in his post so you're notifying him that he's using the term incorrectly without being direct about it. But yeah, still, the answer to your question is that he wants a turbo.

Is this supposed to be an argument for what he said? Because, as a geek, it's certainly convincing me for it... :D

DCT = Dual clutch transmission. Essentially, it's two "manual gearboxes" attached together and a computer controls the gear selection and clutch engagement for both. One gearbox selects odd gears and the other selects even gears. Basically what happens is while the car is driven by one set of...

It's the red colored interior, like what was shown at Beijing. You can kinda see it here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=38788&postcount=25

Trust me, what the moderator is talking about just consisted of base insults. There's really no room for those kinds of "arguments". Listing disagreements and arguing for your position is fine. Insulting other board members because they don't share your view is not.

Here's a picture of my keyboard tomorrow:

I voted "the performance", but what I really mean is how fun it is to drive. In particular, I'm interested in the handling of the car (especially the sub-speeding feel for DD purposes). For now, it looks like they have a wonderful setup that will almost certainly have a fun, sporty feel. The...

This. Plus you should look for any opportunity to practice rev-match downshifting. It's much easier on the car and entertaining to drive. As someone with slightly limited mobility from a foot surgery long ago, I can also tell you that a healthy individual can almost certainly do heel-toe...

Exactly! :thumbsup: No need to hate on the feature, it's only going to be a benefit. Like I said, I'm a bit biased because I instantly loved it when they announced it (I was already considering getting a mechanical line lock before they announced it, so it really pleased me), but it was probably...

I'm probably a bit biased because I'm actually really happy about this feature... but aren't you being a bit unfair? I'd think many people who use this car seriously at a drag strip are going to get a mechanical line-lock installed on the car lest they damage their rear brakes. This saves some...
