ricers

Ahh... boy o boy. I think Ford has lost it. Not only are they crapping up perfectly good, dare I say legendary models, but they're making them worse and worse. I can remember back in the good ol early 90's. Escort GT's were crankin out the preformance and screamin @7000 when Civics and Eclipses and Celicas were screwing around with Turbos just to keep up. (When you've got 16 valve DOHC, you don't really need a turbo) Then there was the hideous Probe. What it lacked in looks, it made up for in preformance (it essentially lives on in the Mercury Cougar, anyhow) I guess what I'm saying is Ford used to build quality cars, now they're just taming them and turning them into show vehicles. I wish they'd introduce a new model that could compete with all the ricers of today. (I'm not really a big ZX2 fan) Something car nuts could soup up real nice like. Then once again we will leave the Celicas and Civic Si's in our dust!
