Remember when we used to get excited when the new models came out? Mustangs, Camaros, Barracudas, etc.

How about this little rocket from Ford

[BimmerFreak]

Meh.

[Guest Hornet Handler]

Ford has already killed the RS. To bad. My SVT Focus is a blast. I beat that thing would have been a beast.

[nightrunner]

i could probably fit that in the back of my pickup truck

and front wheel drive? with 300hp? seriously

gonna need rwd/awd and a six cylinder or more to impress me

[Guest abailey362]

[Guest 44M]

I don't need no steenking 6 cylinder

[Guest H0TSH0T]

i want a environmentally friendly truck fuel system, it consist of a scoop on the front and will grab and lift over cab into incinerator , all the fagy , little wimp mobiles, and has a extra mpg for a prius or those queer ass smart cars, or any jackass that thinks the fast lane is for driving slower the the slow lane.

i retract my original statement

there are very few 4cyl cars that i like but the STi is one of them. however i dont like the new hatchbacks, UGLY.

[JeffL]

Yeah, my neighbor downstairs has one. They're even uglier in person. I wish they'd reintroduce the sedan. Given the option today, I'd probably get a Lancer EVO.

[Guest SUNTZU]

The pic in the OP is entirely too fast, too furious for me. I dub it the Green Goblin.

id probably go for an 05 bodystyle STi in that type of car (awd, I4, racer)

my dream car would be a 70 chevelle though

[TripleDigitRide]

I'm gonna have to pass!

I'm going to opt for a little French-German engineering.

SCARIEST QUAD EVER: WAZUMA PACKS 500BHP V12

Mad BMW-powered Lazareth quad bike spotted

This terrifying creation by French motorcycle customiser Ludovic Lazareth could somehow only have come from the country that invented absinthe. And we can only presume that it was conceived after a particularly heavy night on the green stuff.

It’s called the Wazuma Bio and the supercharged V12 BMW lump kicks out 500bhp. We also presume the driver must be clinically insane because, judging by the

(below), it looks as if riding it is akin to straddling the bonnet of a 760Li and telling the driver to let rip while you hang on for dear life.

There’s even a sop to the green-ites, too, as the Wazuma is powered by E85 bioethanol. There is of course a performance reason for this, too: E85’s higher octane rating means the Wazuma can run a higher compression ratio.

The 5.0-litre V12 starts life with 345bhp and 383lb ft of torque, before Lazareth adds the supercharger to create the 500bhp monster. Power goes to the rear wheels via a conventional torque converter auto.

Best bit of all, though, is the fact that this monster has no chassis – the rider sits directly on the BMW V12 lump (though with a seat between it and him - or indeed her).

Brave potential customers will need to shell out quite a lot – the Wazuma will set you back a cool 200k euros (£172k). $284,000 USD.
