Some of his posts are dead on JungleZ. It's how he phrases things, and the same old anti-Nissan sob story. Which is weird, considering JungleZ would be out of his lease by now and he can go lease himself the mustang he always wanted.

If Nissan built a hot hatch it would be another failure because they have no clue what they're doing compared to other brands making cars for enthusiasts , would barely sell just like the 370z failure.

Yep, JungleZ 's mom let him use the computer again.

He must be off his meds again. I just can't understand the appeal of making new usernames for a forum that ran his retarded *** out just to be the same worthless troll.

That's the sad thing - he's not even a good troll. It seems the only thing he has ever been good at was dodging the coat hanger.

This better be true!!!

Next-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class reportedly going to the U.S.

Benz comes in 2nd to Focus RS in Brit comparo. I'd still take the Benz. But good **** Ford!!

This is the original thread about the focus RS

cv129 · 07-18-2016, 04:13 PM

Got some interesting info on the Focus RS through a couple of videos as well as the comment section of youtube video.

About the front suspension:

Lack of clearance between the front springs and the front towers mean front camber cannot be adjusted with camber plates. It's also quite an exercise to access the front strut towers from the engine bay (need to remove layers of covers).
Engine is completely hanging in front of the front axle

Laps around MSR Cresson:

Youtube comment on understeer - Car does NOT like left foot braking, something about it disabling the power to rear wheels causing understeer.
Vorshlag's comment on its own FB page - in Texas summer, cooling is an issue. Oil cooler is a must (came stock with a coolant heat exchanger), possibly larger radiator and intercooler (but this goes to many boosted track cars though).
Seems like lap time without traffic would be around 1.26.xx, looks to be around the same lap time as a stock 370z.

I test drove one. The layout was all over the place. Materials were average and the seats were OK.... the regular ones don't hold their value AT ALL. I'd be scared to buy a specd out one new. Let alone at a marked up price.

A45amg or bust if going over $50K.

I am upset the Evo is gone. Mitsubishi are morons.

The wrx is the best in the segment now.

Seriously, at $42k, I prefer the STI just for the mature aftermarket support.

Let alone the stupid markup $60k price tag someone is seeing. For $60k, or a 2013/14 F10 M5, or a C63 AMG, or an RS5, or a few thou more for F80 M3....among many other fine choices.
