Couldn't slip the photog a fiver or something to get the Focus up front?

 

Oh, see that right there just totally made the past 5 years of working your butt off running this website TOTALLY worthwhile

So is this like a comparison of one tuner car against another? If so do they take into account the kind of car? An Elise or EVO versus a Focus or Civic Si wouldn't be a very fair comparo

lol what is that truck in the second row, an Isuzu Pup?

 

There were 2 classes, AWD/RWD and FWD.

I can't/won't spill the beans as to the details of the outcome... you'll have to check it out in Car and Driver (should probably be the Nov. issue) or on the Car and Driver television show.

But, I do have some really good pics and will be able to give a bit of an overview of the whole event.

 

Awesome Ron - Congrats on getting to do that.

Besides their S/C, what kind of mods did the PowerWorks car have?

>8^)
ER

 

did they spell Signature correctly this time on the red / white striped STi? or is that a different tuner all together?

 

Is that a toyota tacoma beside the focus?

 

ROn you coming over for IAA and Essen this year? I can try and work the Press passes for Essen but IAA is a little more work.

 

Wow! What a privelage!

 

lucky!

 

thats pretty nuts, the cars look real nice

 

that's awesome man, can't wait to see more pics!

 

Okay Ron.. It has been 5 years now.. I wanna go to something cool like that on your dime!

 

Was the Elise by ForcedFed? If so, do you know if it was their standard 275hp kit or the new 400hp kit?

I'm very eager to see the number to the 400hp kit.

 

how come there's like 3 civics and 2 evo's if i'm seeing correctly

 

The white Evo is Buschur Racing's evo. Thats who does all the work to my car

 

That is great to hear Ron!!!

I will be looking for that issue when it arrives.

Oh,don't forget to put some focaljet stickers on all of the cars while you are there.

J/K on that last comment.

 

Awesome! What a privelege. I'm sure it was great to see such a wide range of talent on display.

 

I wonder if the Car and Driver cover for this years 4 banger face off will beat their last one.

 

Is that a toyota tacoma beside the focus?

No crap?! That REALLY looks like a truck. Hmmm.

Anyway, AWESOME priviledge; I envy you Ron. Have fun and give us some nice pics and articles PLEASE.

--Dan.

 

You have officially been pimped...

Way to go Ron! Just don't forgot to drop my name in the pot for next year

- Drew

 

BASTARD!!!!

I bet that would have been a blast. Did you get to drive any of the cars?

 

I'd like to see a WRC Focus there, or just make slip in a ringer... maybe Kugel Komponets Cobra motored car....
er... "why that car sounds like a v8?"
-bix

 

Is that a toyota tacoma beside the focus?

I believe it's the Converse Engineering Tacoma.
