SVTOA Poll - Favorite SVT Vehicle?

The SVT Focus is leading I picked this up at NLOC.com and thought the L needed some votes. The only thing I will concede the SVT Focus does better is fuel mileage, and if I wanted fuel mileage I would not have bought the L .

Just my opinion about the Focus too.

Don't let the fact that its a Ford blind you.
The sun doesn't rise and fall on Ford's doorstep. Same Co. that brought us the '99/'00 L I/C fiasco.
The SVT Focus is a piece of crap, 170hp? What a joke.
Look at the # of ricers out there that put out alot more hp stock;
Subaru WRX 227hp (WRX STi 274hp)
Acura RSX-S 200hp
Toyota Celica GTS 190?hp
If.....I was to be interested in those type of cars, it would absolutely not be the SVT Focus. Look at this without your blueoval blinders and you'll see.......It's a piece of crap.

I'll just stay away from the SVTOA, thanks.

The results of that poll give me another reason not to waste my money or time with them.

What we need is a real Lightning Racers' organization, not a Ford Ricers' group.

I would have voted for the Lightning, but got a "Web site not responding" message.

Angry SHOCKER!!

I agree 100% with Gordon.

(sarcasm on)

Oh wait, I think I'll sell my L, buy a WRX and go b!tch-slap as many a SVT FUNGUS I can find...or something.

(sarcasm off)

They (SVTOA and Fungus owners) can kiss my *** after I kick theirs.

WRX is a cool little car. I wouldn't mind having one as a dialy driver if I could afford to. The WRX for daily/winter beating and the L for weekend spankings. ;-) Boost both ways!

WRX

'99

I agree with you.

Everytime I bring it up, Mrs. Speedin Bob says YOU CRAZY! NO SUBARU!

However, getting my lanky 6'3" carcass into one of them is one thing, trying to get comfortable is another.

Still cool though....Rally Rice.... heh heh heh

I was driving by a Subaru dealer and I stopped by to have a look at a WRX. The problem is you get used too having interior room (ala the L). The shoulder room is limited if you are taller than 6'. The leg room is there, but its across the shoulders that is so much smaller. It would be a very nice winter ride for those that live in the white stuff.
P.S. Funny thing is , the Subaru dealer said that the
SILVER WRX is the fastest color.....Same as the L
