Not a ZX14r, but got a new toy :)
06/26/13 7:42 PM

Yesterday I picked up a 2013 Ford Focus ST. I wanted black but they only had a yellow one. The more I drive this thing the more fun it is!

It is sooo hard to keep your foot out of it, and the boost comes on fast, hard, and smooth. I can lay long patches in the first 2 gears without dropping the clutch. If anyone is looking for a fun everyday car with some a$$ that is not $40k like a Mustang GT or the like I highly suggest you check one of these bad boys out. :)

It is like the 14 in one way... I was getting on the the on ramp, long and winding and I was just listening to the engine and as I was getting ready to shift into 6th gear I realized I was doing right at 110. Its very deceptive on how fast its really going and GD can this thing hold a tight a$$ line in a corner.

I will get some pics online maybe tomorrow.

I am not a ford fan, but I am a fan of engineering all things and that Eco boost can turn some incredible #'s with a few tweaks of the boost controller! ;) cool car sir!

I took these real quick today. I need to get some beauty shots when I find a good backdrop. :)
It is fun. and Hennessy has an ECU flash that will get it another 36hp and 42 torque :) My wife is so going to leave me for a sane man.

Check out Buschur Racing. They're located in Wakeman, OH. I think Dave Buschur was making some mods for the Focus ST. I went to him when I had my EVO 8 back in the day when I lived in Dayton.

True Wolf, but at least I can have fun while driving to work 60 miles one way when its not bike weather out ;) Even if youre not looking for a car man... seriously go test drive one. Make sure its and ST. You will have a blast.

The thing is this lil car is a sleeper man. Unless you know what the ST badge is it will shock the hell outta other cars when they fly by me at 100 and I'm on their a$$ in 5th with one more gear to go ;) Its not a V8 and I know straight line a new Mustang, or insert big sports car here will take me but I know they cant keep up with this thing in the twisty's. I am half tempted to drive 6 hours run the Dragon and drive home one day ;-D

With an ECU flash this will push more than 300hp and 315 torque... I sure am going to miss my wife LOL.
