Yea, that lasted what, 2 yearS? It sat on lots and they killed it.

As per usual, Charlie is right, same thing with the SVT contour. The Lightning and Cobras are the only ones I can think of that have really been (relatively) popular.

fuck fords... spotted one of these yesterday


as per performance cars in america... Americans, in general terms, want comfort and smoothness out of cars, not boxy, harsh, pricey euro rides.

I don't think you can compare the RMS Titanic, aka the "H2" Hummer to a typical euro car, it's girth being about 3-4x larger! I want to slash the fucking tires of every one I see..

[Rob]

i know i know, but he did say boxy, harsh and pricey

Maybe they'll go out of business with the gas issues, or start making something cooler.

There is one grey market Escort running around in Orange here in socal. It's a nice blue color, I've seen it a few times now.

[Jand3rson]

There are a few Escorts in the PNW, 2 in Seattle IIRC. They are both legal, and very pretty, very good condition. I've yet to see one in person though, I've always had a soft spot for them. I just wish that we got Cosworth engineering here, their engines are incredible.

And as for that Delta Integrale... I think I just filled the cup. :D

[SchnellerVert]

Lancia Delta HF huh, just try getting a parts source for those here in the US.

[Rob]

shit, the US doesn't even get practical cool cars. Evo IX wagon, garsh.

[nefarious7907]

when you say boxy I think of piece o shit refrigerator(se) box scion xb, the european cosworth version of the focus looks cool, the ford falcon with a ~360hp V-8 in austrailia is badass.

[Rob]

I understand Germany and italy's motivation for screwing us, we wooped dat ass, but Ford? man.

[EtaSport]

I remember watching a "getaway in paris" video with the cosworth and supra.... (might been the first or second one, don't recall).

Simply awesome, wish I had some time to pull up some more pics of them.

man brings back the memories of when you showed me all the cosworths back in the old days. You should post up the old sort. lol. It could be R3v of the week!!! how many cars has ben totalled now?

Hiluurrrrious. If there was a market out here for that kind of stuff, I think even North Korea (if they made such cars) would sell them here. Money knows no boundaries. Prinicples and beliefs take a backseat once moneys in the mixture, unfortunately.
