pbateson 02-18-2004 08:01 PM

Don't get this! Cuz Ford is bad because they have too many serious problem than Nissan.

i think ford isnt as abuse friendly as hondas.... cause if you take care of a car, it lasts.

guywithastang 02-18-2004 08:34 PM

I have had good cars and bad. they are all pretty much equal in my opinion.

juvenile 02-18-2004 09:05 PM

I'd keep the maxima. I just like those cars better.

MAXed Out 02-18-2004 09:13 PM

Yeah it was just something to think about and see what honda guys thought about it and i'm sticking with my max.

CD5Passion 02-18-2004 09:49 PM

good, not a ford fan at all...well other than cobras, cobras are pretty...and fast...but escorts....:spam:

Kyle 02-18-2004 10:00 PM

looks alright...don't know too much about fords...

MAXed Out 02-18-2004 10:18 PM

I still think it would be a good buy but ima stick to the max for now.

GT40FIED 02-18-2004 11:59 PM

Almost all of Ford's smaller displacement performance cars are actually pretty good. The SHO, SVT Contour, SVT Focus, Mustang SVO, etc. You can rape the shit out of the motors and they'll hold (although Ford gets no credit for the SHO motors...they were built and tuned by Yamaha). FWD isn't my style but they're nice cars.

pdiggitydogg 02-19-2004 12:01 AM

i liked the sho's...almost bought one
i just dont like contours

RU_Teg 02-19-2004 12:02 AM

I'd definitely stick with the maxima...dunno i like the max a whole lot more..but thats juss my opinion..:paranoid:

What?
You ever driven a ford?
I've had two 5.0's now, a civic, and a del sol.
Take care of your cars. They last.
The 5.0's were great!
But I just prefer owning a honda. I love them.

Most people haven't since no American Ford has worn the Cosworth badge. They're toying with the idea of making a Cosworth Focus available for the states...it's basically the 300hp turbo FR-200 concept that was shown a few years ago. I'm not a focus fan, but a 300hp turbo 2.0L would be wicked sweet as a daily driver.

Oh hell yeah
I can honestly say I would consider one.

Trust me, if you'd seen the concept car, you'd reconsider. It looked like a Focus with a wide body kit and a crazy front end (big opening although it did feed the IC) with a too-big-for-the-car wing above the hatch. I'd like to see them just sell the crate motor or a kit or something so you could drop the motor into...say....an SVT Focus (otherwise known as an overpowered go kart).

GT 40 is right, i have a ford SHO 1995 5 speed which only i think 5000 were made, its nice and fast, me and my dad are totally redoing it, fatal has seen it, they are some nice engines....
