I wouldn't mind having the Focus ST for a daily! An econo box (allbeit very nice) with almost 250hp... could be fun.

They are an absolute blast to drive.

If you're going rice, might as well go with the boss!

by BMMC1 12/30/2010, 1:36 pm

The only rice I would drive would be a GTR, S2000, STI or Evo.

However, if it's not Ford, I'm more of a German fan.

by Guest 12/30/2010, 2:10 pm

Paul, you are short enough to fit in an S200... most of us are not.

For the money, I would do STI or EVO also.

So what was this thread about again???

by BMMC1 12/30/2010, 2:33 pm

It's about Jeeps...

by hutchenstein 12/30/2010, 3:21 pm

Actually S2000's are not that small on the inside. I'm 6'4" and I can fit inside them quite easily. And I think the thread topic was lost as soon as we started talking about the Focus ST lol.

by Guest 12/30/2010, 3:35 pm

well I sat in one the other day and Im 5'9 and my knees were against the dash and it was hard to get in and out of. This is coming from an owner of a Crossfire, but not saying i dont like the s200. Just horribly cramped for me

by Shelby10' 12/30/2010, 3:48 pm

Not a fan of the HONDA S2000

by BMMC1 12/30/2010, 4:00 pm

Chris.... the S200 is alot smaller than the S2000.

I wasn't a fan (still not) of them either. But drove a friends. They are a very fun car to drive. Handling is friggin impressive.

by Guest 12/30/2010, 7:37 pm

Really Paul? You of all people are going to criticize me for grammar...

I like the car, just was shocked when I sat in one at the auction... But it was a hard top model, which made it even sweeter!

i was wondering where our resident fox humper was at!

personaly i say NO FURTHER MODS. modding a v6 is throwing money to the wind

the scars on my leg finally heal (7/4/10) and you start throwing knives.............ass

by Guest 12/30/2010, 8:50 pm

I would say mod a 4.0 if thats all you had but not a 3.8. That engine is cursed it pops head gaskets all the time and thats with no boost at all. Ford cant build a 3.8 I worked for ford and i cant tell you how many of those engines I have seen with blown head gaskets. Get a GT or do a motor swap

by BASixxer 12/30/2010, 11:35 pm

Just not using the right headgaskets lol... we shall see how things go when i finally get around to installing my supercharger...

Thought the 3.8l gasket problems were on the earlier pre 99 models. I think the newer SN95s have a different head gasket design. I know the earler 3.8s leaked oil like nobodies business too.

by BASixxer 12/31/2010, 2:06 am

yea, that's one of the things they were supposed to have fixed when they introduced the split-port heads in 99...

by lehcar 1/10/2011, 6:07 am

Sorry, had to bring this thread back. Lol. Isaac, go with a GT lol. beatingdead

And for the sake of arguing about which imports are better/you'd prefer, I'm gonna have to say: MKIV is the route i would take!
