I have never been a HUGE ford fan, but always preferred them over holdens. I Was always into my jap turbo cars over the past 7 years, but just as of Saturday evening I was completely converted. Coming back from GOR (that's another story) through Geelong and back onto the western ring rd via the onramp... this 00 sti was giving it the dogs bollocks.. I stayed with him around the sweeper (I was surprised myself here lol, he was giving it all it had.. it was SCREAMING).. then as soon as it straighted up dropped back to 4th and OMFG I put at least 6 car lengths on him.. needles to say he didn't try anything else. I can't imagine owning another car right now, completely in love with the bang for buck factor! go the blue oval!
