I figured there's enough Ford posts on /o/ to try this again. Last time I made the category too narrow, this time, all Ford Performance vehicles welcome! New or old, recently bought or passed down for generations, post your Ford and talk about others.
Got some Ford questions? Feel free to ask Ford owners. Have I mentioned this is a Ford post yet? When did you accept modern Ford as the lord and savior of the Auto Industry?
SVT, ST, RS, FPV, SVO, Cosworth, Roush, and M-Sport all welcome. Mustang? Ecoboost? Something left off the list? Post it up!
If this thread is successful I'll make a Ford collage for the next one.

That's ok, I hear they have a 5.0 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost going into the Raptor and the GT500.
So I'm deciding between a mustang gt and camaro ss. Both 2015. Which should I get and why?
>>14874373
Pontiac G8 GXP
>>14874373
If both 2015, I guess get the Mustang GT. I hear the 2016 SS is supposed to be better, don't think the changes were made to the 2015.

It's just a white gel badge inlay, I have a matching one for the rear.
>>14874578
those emblems are built into the damn grille, he painted it. I used black plastidip for mine so I can peel it later, looks the same so I imagine that's what he did but I could be wrong. Looks great either way, I left the silver borders around ST logo and it looks crisp.
>>14874613
saved for later use, thanks Instant. I'm going to buy an entire fucking color palette of these just for when I get bored of one lol
>>14874610
Whatup man, your focus is dope. I wanna see that fiesta tho. You rallyx and autox? I really want to rallyx the fiesta but I need a second car first. :x
>>14874632
No problem m8, I payed with PayPal and it did the currency exchange no problem, took a few days to show up to the house but arrived no issue.
>>14874269
How much can you squeeze out of the late 90s V6? I'm looking at a manuel 98 Contour to turn into a LeMons car.
>>14874373
The ss would be my choice, it's just marginally better than the GT, but the difference in performance is so small, it all depends really on personal preference especially if you're planning on building it up, adding mods, etc.. I personally have nothing against the Mustang other than I think it's ugly.
>>14874666
My Focus is damn fun but was a matter of contention between the gf and myself because I refused to get rid of it. Now it's hilariously epic for being a little shitbox and tears up the Otay truck trails with zero problems. Now the GF loves it and I get a lot of local interest when I go trailblazing. I rallyx with it whenever I can, but that's rare because San Diego tends to not have these events often and towing the thing a couple hundred miles is out of the question unless I know someone already going. Kind of unfortunate, but the lack of actual tracks, events, and meets in SD is the exact reason I built the focus for dirt tracks. No shortage of truck trails and desert crap to the east, that's for sure.
I've done one session of autox with the FiST and had a blast, but honestly the dirt tracks are where I really shine and that's what my focus is for. One of these days, if I still have the thing 5 years from now and have absurd disposable income, I would like to do an AWD conversion for the Focus so I can be even more ridiculous.
FiST is my baby though, looks almost exactly like yours from the outside, minus tint, wheels, and stickers. I still need to get a WAT sticker just for the sheer hilarity of having no clue what the organization is about.

You mad cause your favorite budget car maker can't compete anymore? :(
Is there much difference between the Mountune MP215 and the MR230 upgrades for the Fiesta ST?
>>14874980
Nissan, Toyota, Honda, VW, FCA, and GM are all technically "budget" car manufacturers. I doubt you drive a Caterham or Lotus, rentboy
>>14875027
I believe you can retain your factory warranty with the MP215 kit and it only comes with a mostly pointless intake. The stock airbox on the Fiesta is big enough that you don't get much if any advantage from an aftermarket intake.
MR230 looks like it comes with a full 'Cobb Stage 3' kit. Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, Intercooler, Intercooler Piping, a Cobb AP (rebranded with a mountune faceplate, if it's any good) and some custom tuning services from the Mountune tuner (I've heard good things about Randy but haven't ever worked with him).
I don't think the MP215 is worth it, as you'll probably want more power once you get a taste. Neither includes a RMM (Roll-Restrictor for Mountune) which is the first thing I'd suggest doing.
>ford
>performance
still can't get over this
>>14875053
Cheers senpai. Appreciate it.
>>14875102
No problem, if your factory warranty is really important to you, the MP215 is a good way to get some power and still have that peace of mind.
I really need to repaint this valve cover. Have to figure out a way to stop it from cracking.
>performance
>ford
my sides still haven't recovered
>>14874373
I was making the same decision as you, ultimately went with the Mustang because I couldn't get over how ugly the rear end of the Camaro was, and the visibility in the Camaro is shockingly bad.
>>14875694
use high temp primer and paint you stupid """""performance""""" ford owner
>>14875710

Already used the high temp primer. Might have been bad weather when I painted it. Was just in the suggested range. I'll probably try it against once it's warmer.

heres the new i5 3.2l that they are going to start using. fug i want it so bad, me and a buddy are trying to find one to put in his 71 maverick.
Anyone been looking at the Ford Focus RS? I want one of these fuckers so bad. Seems like the most absolute perfect DD of all time. The only problem is that they are hard to get one because of the backed up pre-orders. What is /o/ thoughts on the car? It looks like its going to have one hell of an aftermarket scene aswell.
>>14883614
It's really cool how it's grey when the sun isn't out and green when it is. Here's mine.
>>14885632
I wish the Focus or Fiesta came in that Green. :3

>>14881286
>sure, i can explain in detail
>"basically"...
Logic is hard
>>14884910
looks great but dont expect most people doing more than intake+tune
reason being the GDK(what ever) AWD system is only rated for about 400hp. So most tuners wont want to blow their drivetrain for 100 extra ponies.
>>14874269
I want to fuck around with a 98 Contour SVT. I'm aware it's the worst choice for a "performance" Ford but they're not too hard to find. Talk me out of it.
>>14884910
It's probably a decent car but unless you are getting it for under MSRP, overpriced. Considering there are several cars that do the exact same thing as the RS and have been for years it's not a new concept.
>>14888988
yeah I'll elaborate further
what it is, is that ford the maker is shit and all the shitty cars they shit out are even more shit, they basically shit out a shitter car year by year.
you can literally take the word FORD and turn it into SHIT see same amount of letters.
>>14888996

last year i went to a local track with slicks just to see what difference it made on grip and most people refused to race me because i was in a fox with slicks like i was some kind of boogeyman

Hi Anon, MP215 Owner here.
Its probably the best upgrade on a dollars for horses basis you can get. I get 45mpg average, and i'll outstrip most cars up to a 2l turbo german saloon. I will say, even on amazing tyres, the front wheels struggle a bit at the 215. I was going to opt for the 230, but I honestly didn't think the chassis could take it without supporting mods. The ability to flick the FiST about is what makes it fun, not straight line speed.

anyone have any opinions on the fiesta st vs the focus st
i'm looking for a decent car in that price range, and wanted to know if anybody things the 50 extra horses in the focus are better.

With kids, a focus would be better. The Fiesta back seats are extremely small. They work alright for occasional passengers or small trips across town, but no long road trips. Without kids, definitely the Fiesta.
>>14891172
yea i have a 78 f150 custom for my hauling needs, just need a kid carrier

yea, was wondering about that. I guess it'll have to be the focus.
