Sorry to hear that Kenny. Good news is that you'll never make that mistake again. Plus, if you're fixing it yourself, maybe it won't show up on Carfax. Yet another plus, the longer you wait, the more likely Ford will work through any growing pains on the first year model.

It shouldn't, no cops and no trace other than a cc receipt. I just want all the power sooner, I am sick of having mini vans keep up with me on the straights :lol:

Took one for a test drive the other day. Wow what a rocket! The torque steer is pretty bad but it's a fun car to drive.

The power is awesome, handling is super sharp and the interior was a nice place to be. I liked the bucket seats but I could see how bigger guys wouldn't really fit too well. I'm a fairly lean [email protected] 5"10.. I found that they were great for around town and spirited driving but I think it would be a little much if your on the highway for hours.

It's a really fun car but it has a very specific group of buyers. I don't really see the point myself bc I would rather pick up a Mustang GT for a bit more.

The torque steer is actually very little for a FWD car with that much power. If you want bad torque steer go test drive a mazdaspeed 3.

But for me a mustang is more just a fun car where the ST you can use every day, pack stuff in it, and never feel limited, where the Stang you can't really do much other than drive in it. Let alone move stuff around or try to make a large grocery run. (or even more important, car parts run)

That's true, it's a hot hatch. A nice balance of practicality, fun and performance. It does come with summer tires from factory so you will need some other tires for the winter months (especially around here).

I had a FWD Cougar with a 3L dropped in and the 3L cougars roughly 200-210 fwtq. It was a fair bit more torque steer then my Cougar had.. It did have a bit more torque but I wasn't expecting that.

Ya 270 wheel tq will do that lol With just a tune they are pulling about 240 wheel hp and 310 wheel tq. Its awesome.

Went to the track tonight and there was a stock st there running 14.6. He was shitting all over these modded MS3 it was pretty funny. I think if it wasn't misting he would of ran even better.

 

[seasonalskier]

Haha, that's awesome.

 

[black00betty]

^^^ I approve.

That's wicked, I'm happy ford finally brought the ST over here.

Too bad they left the wagon :angry:
Would have considered the wagon if they brought it here.

I have no clue if we are just testing for EU or not, but I know of 2 Fusion Wagons in testing over here in Dearborn. So who knows, maybe Ford finally heard us Wagon lovers.
