Hmm a little dissapointed with this car.

He hasnt done much to it at all.

The cold air intake is very restrictive on the ST / XR5... I would be changing this before doing the exhaust. More gains to be made.

Our Frosty here has done more to his 'can of fanta'

I hate the guys voice.

I wouldn't exactly call 0-100 in 6second slow. Im guessing Low 14's 1/4mile.

My fiesta is slow. But the difference is I think that focus was quick.

SO you think 0-100 in 8.5 isn't far behind low 6?

The motor mag had the XR5 times totally wrong the first time they put it in.

Basically... motor is talking crudola.

I rem the quarter mile time was high 15's or something when they tested the car.
