Ford killin' it with fun cars these days. About time.
Cad, out of curiosity - and a bit sarcastically - my daily needs new tires. Should I not go with the MPSS, Nittos, or Mickey Thompsons I've been shopping and instead get a car with inherently more stability and natural traction? If I hit the gas at 70mph, I spin up through about 90-95 =(
Hellcat.
In Dallas this weekend again. Hope to see some nice cars cruising around while at Truck Yard.

I honestly didn't know how them NM to FT Lbs converted, thought it was a simple NM to FTLB converter.
In other news, the new Fiesta ST will have 200hp with a 3cyl turbo engine...
Say Hello To The New Three-Cylinder Ford Fiesta ST
Toyota just released the 86, a rebadged BRZ, if I'm thinking clearly.
I'm sure better tires will help. But that car is always going to be traction limited.
You're going to miss Cars and Coffee by one weekend. Hell of a turnout usually.
I can't think of any car shit going on this weekend you might enjoy but you should be able to cruise around and find something.
Yup, it is. Even with full drag slicks, I can spin at will if I'm being a hoon in 1st and 2nd. It actually is a car that was not designed to fully make use of the power and even tires are only a band-aid.
vegrant That looks like a ton of fun. New Raptor still a 6.2, or did Ford put in something else?
Hahah fucking Toyotas last sports car about to be killed dead by performance trim subcompact hatchbacks. Oh how far you have fallen.
No Lexus doesn't count and the whore whale mouth grill on all the F cars can die now kthx.
The FRS got rebranded to the international model designation when they retained it after killing off Scion. That's what I'm talking about, their "purpose built sports car" is basically at the same level as a domestic hatchback and I'm sure the updated Fiesta ST will basically shit all over it.
They aren't under obligation with Subaru to keep it that way anymore. But they just won't di anything to make the FT86 stand out despite the fact that the FA20 was designed for forced induction . At least Subaru has the WRX STI.
I loved how they said a turbo wouldn't fit under the hood, less than a month out for sale and I saw three with turbo kits, lol.
just got some new tires for the whip, 2013 ford raptor. Getting rid of her soon, but replacing her with the new model!
the last pic was a fun recovery lol.

Got the same tires on my LR4. New Raptor comes with the same in 35". Pretty crazy.
That last pic looks like you got stuck in the sand. Did you air down?
