ooo, i see. my bad.

no you don't, both the brembos and gears are available on the base V8. $32,190 w/o gears, $32,585 w/ gears. word has it that the problem may be ford's new clutch pedal spring assembly. replacing the pedal box with the GT500 unit or the spring with the GT500 spring, and it *should* be good. IIRC, the TSB replacement still uses the same spring arrangement as the one it replaces, just modified. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/2011-mustangs-354/710327-2011-5-0l-clutch-pedal-issue-fix.html

love it!!! but i'm waiting for the first shop that swaps a focus ST turbo 2.0l into a fiesta, oh baby! they've been planning it for a while, but it's a bit of a logistics issue from the pre-mulally management. they brought over a few euros in the 90's that were absolute sales failures(contour, merkurs), so the just assumed that it wasn't worth the hassle of importing cars designed for europe when they could design NA specific cars. the first gen focus was a world car, but NA management gave ford europe the go ahead to design the second gen focus specifically for europe. once mulally got in control, it came out that there were quite a few in management that wanted some of the euro fords, but they logistically couldn't bring them over. simply put, europeans are willing to pay premium cash for a compact ford, while americans are quality-ignorant to some extent("$25k-$30k is too much for a compact 'ford', no matter the quality"). it, and a lot of other euro fords, couldn't be imported and sold at much of a profit. and that, as well as the standard crash and emissions issues, why we've had to wait for the redesigned fiesta, redesigned focus, redesigned kuga, etc., so they could be designed with both euro and NA sales in mind. you've seen the 'stangs competition...right???

can't lie, that's pretty funny:funny:

i was all ready to type out some "this shit is fuckin retarded" rant, then i saw it was a viper ACR. now that's just good shit! BTW, thread title fail. it says Pace car, not race car.

first of what looks like a couple vids

ford announced about 2 years ago that we would be getting ~12 euro fords within the next 5 years, with the first being the transit connect, followed by the fiesta and focus. the fusion will merge with the mondeo, so they'll essentially be the same car with different names. the escape will merge with the kuga, same deal. we will be getting a few other vehicles that share the focus platform too, such as the C-MAX(compact mini-van, like the mazda5). ford plans to have 10,000 full electric focus's(???) on the road by next year as well. the RS is set to debut 1 to 2 years after the initial release of the next gen focus. yes, we will definitely be getting it, it's been all but confirmed.

LMAO! nice one dude!

actually hebron now, need to change that...

the guy who doesn't have "driftking" in my name.

aw man, i was waiting for him to make another dumbass post so i could post this one... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-877807893711273242#docid=-3120542026877607338

i'll take that bet. you gotta love that thing, so ridiculous in the most awesome ways possible! here is chris rado's new AWD time attack car... http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh2010/September/random%20snap/sRado%20AWD25957.jpg

yes to the wing and splitter! as far as using it on the street, fuck everyone else. they can think "rice" all they want, it doesn't change the fact that your using the thing. tracked out muscle cars just look badass anyways, the above pics are proof.

Source: Asphalt & Rubber - Erik Buell Racing 1190RS Street Bike Announcement Hype Machine Gets Under Way man, i REALLY hoep this happens! if EBR can get this bike off the ground and become profitable, then i think we'll see some good stuff coming from them. who knows, maybe the buell dirt bike that was axed a few years ago could pop up again.

yep, he goes by fourcam330. he does a lot of engine work with al pappitto(ford modular master), including the port work on the M-B heads(IIRC). he used to have a street/strip stang with a pappitto built NA 5.5l modular, not sure if he still has it or not.

i sorta know andy(the owner), cool guy, can do ECU work for ANY car. they've done a few veyrons as a matter of fact. he's also big into the AMGs right now and they've built a few FAST C63s. dyno graph of an SL65 black series with ONLY an MHP tune... http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r206/Fourcam330/MHPSL65BSDyno.jpg converts to 690HP 775lb-ft a customer C63, 11.24 with a drop in filter, MHP full exhaust, MHP ported heads, an MHP tune, and drag radials... hope i'm not coming off as a forum billboard, lol, but they do some good stuff.

absolutely. this sounds like an assumed worst case scenario presented as fact. we can all agree that BP is a for profit company, right? so why in the fuck would they drill in such a supposedly amazingly ungodly ridiculously dangerous area that could cost them billions upon billions of dollars?! i haven't heard anything about this well holding enough crude to support the world for 1,000 of years or anything, it's just another well. really, these guys may have cut a lot of corners to save a buck, but BP's engineers aren't some college drop out morons or something. maybe i'm wrong, but it would simply defy absolutely any sort of logic, especially from such a major company who has so much to lose.

the ju jitsu can take a back seat though, his stand up needs a LOT of work. he can obviously throw a punch, but he can't box for shit against someone his size.

here you go guys, these links shouldn't go down... Lesnar vs Carwin not much to say that hasn't already been said Akiyama vs Leben fight of the night, possibly the year! Sotiropoulos vs Pellegrino pretty good fight, worth watching Schaub vs Tuchscherer very 'meh' fight. on a side note, schaub is a cocky bastard and needs a good KO. i guess you'll have that if your training with rashad evans though... Lytle vs Brown good fight, worth watching Soszynski vs Bonnar spectacular fight, only topped by Leben-Akiyama IMO Petruzelli vs Romero great back and forth battle! Branch vs Harris great fight, with an 'at the buzzer' KO. possibly KO of the year! Fight bonuses: Fight of the Night($75k each fighter) - Leben vs Akiyama - Soszynski vs Bonnar KO of the Night($75k for the winner) - Branch vs Harris Sub of the Night($75k for the winner) - Lesnar vs Carwin

fight of the year! leben vs akiyama it takes a little while to load(or it did for me anyways) but it's WELL worth the wait! lesnar vs carwin (not sure how embedding works here, so links will have to do) like i put in the link, leben-akiyama = FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!! absolutely spectacular show put on by both fighters!!! lesnar-carwin, wow, very surprising! surprised me that lesnar went down(his stand up REALLY sucks, lol), surprised me that he survived a couple minute absolutely brutal beating, and REALLY surprised me that, not only did he win by submission, but he gave up a full mount just to go for that sub! lesnar definitely needs more fights under his belt to build up some in ring experience(so he knows what the fuck to do when he's on his back and getting pounded!), and definitely needs some stand up work, but his ground game is beginning to look quite brutal! HUGE props to both lesnar and carwin! both great fighters and seem like great guys(especially after lesnar near death experience, lol).

not sure if he was there, but here's a shot of my neighbors 351W superformance... (shitty camera phone FTFail) http://upurs.us/image/15451.jpeg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8eLBXqoB90 i'm a big fedor fan, but it's been YEARS since he's fought anyone with the ground game of werdum. i'm not gonna say that i wasn't surprised by this loss, but the odds were certainly in favor of a ground fighter beating him vs any of the stand up guys he's fought these past few years.

i don't see the issue. simply put, they don't offer your "level" of phone any more, so you either take the upgrade(next "level" up) and pay the extra $10 or you downgrade(next "level" down) at the cost of using a shittier phone. what do you want them to do, make a special phone just for you? i mean, hell, they are giving you an upgraded phone that you would otherwise have to pay more cash for.

as has been mentioned, demonoid is #1, absolutely no comparison. you just gotta get an invite(which doesn't seem like a problem at this place, lol). gotta keep your ratio up though, or you'll get the axe.

i was gonna guess because he's a legal tax paying resident of this country, but it could certainly be your racist bullshit guess...
