Absolutely insane. I wonder how much editing was done, or if he did that all that on one run...

He screws up sometimes. I think even the end of it they put down where he screwed up. I think he hit one camera and the camera on the top of the car went pass the car too. Also I think he hit the guard rails.

They must have done a lot of engine rework to get 65o ponies from the original 1.6L Fiesta engine, even with turbocharger(s).

Hey ZoZo, I went to Furd and sat in a 5.0 for a bit yesterday.
The salesman kept trying to get me to drive it.....
They still have a GT500KR sitting outside (under an over hang, but still gets rained on).
I went inside to sit in another 5.0...was hot outside.
The GM goes out and cranks the KR up and immediately takes off in the parking lot at almost wot!!! Had not been cranked in probabaly 3 weeks too!!! :tisk:
Comes back in and tells the salesman that he WAS going to let me warm it up, but I came inside...And, he called me by name....I spend tooo much time at car lots. :blush:

LOL How do you like the 5.0? There is a black one here. Looks mean.

I want to see the Focus ST next year. On pictures it looks really good.

But they should do something with the Fusion too. Need an ST badge on it.

Not a fan of the SHO look. Fusion looks better. Ford is giving headache to other manufacturers for sure.

I'll wait till I can test the new Focus. Wife decided she doesn't like the agressive center dash on the Fiesta. LOL Maybe Focust ST would be a good contender.

Well, hope his new toy will get him some points in WRC. Currently he is bottom of the standing with 0 pt... I don't know if he is even that good.. :) or just a lot of youtube hype...

No question about that. I don't think he cares much about the WRC. He makes more money and gets more famous this way.
