Good Luck! Even on the 2015s they are holding strong at asking prices with very limited deals going on at any dealer since the new model is selling so well and is in demand at this moment. Especially the 5.0 trim I just can't! I would if I could but ONLY if I was able to afford exactly how I would want it. But they are up there in all the right trims and accessories, coming out to HIGH $40k tippin $50k

He works at Ford.
He gets special pricing but he was too far upside down on his 2013 to justify the cost so he decided to slum it in the fiesta for a couple years to start fresh.
the Fiesta ST was actually pretty cool to drive...quick little thing.

The FIESTA is NOT, the FIESTA of the past. I know its hard to get the image and what the car was (Big Brotha of the Yugo)... But it really is a impressive lil car. Even categorized with the sub compacts performance models like the WRX with just under 300hp and has many aftermarket parts and turbo kits placing it right there.

Bird is the Word
The Focus ST is more of a competitor against the WRX, not the Fiesta ST. A friend of mine has a tuned Focus ST that made 257hp/345tq on the dyno. It's a quick little car, but has no traction being FWD.

That name sounds familiar. I may have been on StangNet. I have owned Mustangs in and out throughout my time, so...with all the Mustangs owned, I have signed up with different forums in and out and they have come and gone with the individual cars. TR since 2003, SVTP since 2008 & here is probably the 3 longest running forums I have even actually stayed reportin or trollin on. lol

Well, there's more to life than just being faster, you know. I hope you're not downplaying what the TL is and was to you because there was a point where you loved it. Just cause it's an ex, doesn't mean it has no redeeming qualities!
I raced a 2012 5.0 that was stanced out perfectly...driven by an old white dude...light turned green, turned off my traction control...
and he barely beat me.
by 20 car lengths!
but it was just for fun, I admired his car.

And it does not only end on this site, I still have TL friends I talk to all the time. Marvin & Adam (predatorbird) I talk to on tap and others I never knew their screen name but see time to time at local meets & greets.

about 2 weeks ago or so, I came out for break or lunch from my PT job at Lowes and parked nose to nose with a foot of space was a C6 427 (white) with a light grey hood stripe. Car was dope! I took pics and posted on IG since I park so damn far away from Lowes, this customer intentionally parked that way marking the classic rivalry between Ford and Chevy. It was awesome I must say. And the color contrast just made it better as if it was Spiderman vs Venom (Good vs Evil) For those who have IG, check it out!

True, them VETTES are some serious grip! And those MONSTAH Z06's...for get it! I believe they going for almost 80k loaded. But those cars are a entirely different breed. They are actually consider AMERICAN/Domestic Exotics, not your "Muscle Car" class coming stock with est. 650hp SuperCharged from factory! Funny thing is... Hellion Turbo kits make a sick ass TT kit for the Coyote that makes 650hp at ONLY... 5 psi That is IMPRESSIVE! That kit will set you back approx $7500 but is capable of 25psi... Yeah, that my friends will make 1200hp! (fully forged bottom end + fuel supporting mods of course)

been away for a while but been around. I finally returned to Showtime for the 1st time since my engine blew on July 5th Street Warz. This time, as a spectator only...But still returned. It was a lil erie. Lil by lil I may make my way back on the track. Until then, Just enjoying what has become a serious street car. As mentioned above, I was lined up to get a custom catch can installed. It took longer then expected but well worth the wait! *sorry for the phone pics and catching my shadow. I edited the pics and cropped them but for some reason did not cross over to the image on photobucket*
