Clearly there is a generational difference in 'car guys' logic. I built up a Jetta TDI street racer. Beefed up the springs, increased the size of the brakes, swapped out the front bumper for a fiberglass race front end to aid with aerodynamics and increase cooling to the engine. Chip the engine for more torque and HP. All of that is functional and increases performance.

The young guns want to decrease the ability to see and be seen and that reduces performance of the lights. Looks 'cool' but does nothing productive.

I'd swap out the rims, lower it and tint the windows a little..other than that it looks pretty nice out of the factory.

Do NOT like the wheels though KLB

Also watch for corrosion on that battery too... They're a PIG for doing that. Every new Ford in the last 5 years has really truly awful corrosion problems with their engine bay mounted batteries.

edit: Hmm, already pretty low... something about it doesn't look right... those wheels look HUGE.

maybe an optical illusion.

I like the rims!

Agree with you on tinting the windows. Stiffen the springs for cornering. Pull the brakes and slip in some Brembos for real stopping power.

They are 20s. I happen to really like those wheels. I have another set of wheels coming in Saturday, which are only 18s. They will be for my Winter tires.

Tinting is a maybe. Wife is already going to have a fit over the new wheels and tires. Maybe when Spring comes around I can get it done.

I got the SHO package on it. Bigger brakes and stiffer suspension are both part of it.

I forgot to update everyone on the computer buy, after a very long day of trying to buy a laptop, the wife growing impatient and angry, and the son becoming ever so tired and irritable. I decided to go with the Toshiba. The lady gots to the back to get it for me, and come back empty handed because they are out -.- how mad was I...so she says I could buy the display. Which I might've considered if some of the other displays had screens up saying there were problems with the computer, so I played it safe and settled with the HP. And then fought through Comminois traffic. Took me 1hr and 20 mins to travel 20 miles at one point. I almost had a mental breakdown on 94 lol

Wins 7 or 8?

Let us know when it blows up. It has windows after all.

I just peed.

As someone said to me. Power is nothing without handling.

If you like the wheels then it's all good

That's a lot of power too, AWD and a flappy paddle gear box. That would make me a happy pickle. (except its a ford).

This thread is in need of rescue ...

 

[sadclownwp]

I know where there is a "TDI Cup" street racer that is NOT for sale

picture or it doesn't exist.

 

[dansgotguns]

Hemi green.

I second that

It is my first Ford, but I have read good things about it. Plus they went without a bailout, which is a bonus.

I would have bought another Infiniti, but the redesign isn't due until next year. I did not want to wait another year.

No problem ...

Naw, the new Ford speaks well for itself. But the 'young'uns who think that performance comes by tinting the lights so they are too dim to see, or who hang those silly coffee can mufflers on the back that sound like a cat stuffed and some loose gravel stuffed inside a clarinet . . . those are the kids that need to be rescued from themselves.

Very nice

Its parked at the 1101 Cigar Lounge now, I've been driving it today because Melen and I ride together on days when I coach Fencing at her school. Come take a picture.

You can keep your new cars. I'll take the blub-blub-blub-blub from a set of Hookers anyday.

Feeling your spine getting smashed into the vinyl as the front end rises and not knowing if you'll be able to keep her straight. Yeah baby.

Ahhh for the good old days But thanks to the EPA those days are gone.

We now have to eek out power from tiny engines that sound like crap and need to be wound up to ultra high RPMs to produce anything more than negligable horsepower and still provide very little torque. That is one reason why I like diesels. Tons of torque at the low end, with the right gearing it does some amazing things and still gives the EPA mandated high mileage and low emissions.
