I not liking Ford too much right now

I have been looking around to see if there is anything that I like to purchase next year when my lease is up on my focus. I keep saying I will just buy the focus and make it a nice reliable DD. Well I love the concept of the trailblazer SS. Big power, room for 5, awd. On lunch today what parks next to me. A damn SRT 8 jeep. brand new. guy went to SC and picked it up. what happened when ford was battling everyone with performace cars and trucks?? Saleen explorer and crap. Why cant ford make a Explorer GT or something to battle these trucks?? If i see another got damn version of the new s197 stang I am gonna cut someone. Had to vent. Really not trying to cross over to another brand seeing that my dad is a ford retiree and we get a discount. Dunno what to do next.

Look for a Poll soon to help me out

the Jeep SRT8 is nice! I like it alot, there are a bunch down here.
:gotme: Ford is behind the times, I mean there is a reason why they’re losing so much money

just go with the TBSS…there are rebates out the ass right now that prob make up for the loss of A-plan.

you know, I think I might actually get a GM discount from my god father

TBSS is so awesome i want one

Dave … you should have been at Rainbow on Sat …

My friend Jason was in town from Hotlanta … he is a cop down there and also does side work for GMMG …

he brought his blue 06 by the shop … Baddest sounding truck ive ever heard …

List of mods …

Stainless works longtubes
Stainless works X-Pipe
true dual setup … custom fabbed rear bumper
Custom grind Comp Cam
GMMG cold air
GMMG custom tune
Bullittproof 4l60 trans

truck fuckin moves

damn. i see he upgraded the trans. i hear they cant handle the power

the explorer is a 4.6 in teh V8 version so in theory you could use most of the mustang crap on it to make it faster. We were discussing this today actually. why don’t the explorer’s have the cobra driveline? all the shit should fit + it would make it alot of fun.

subaru forester + mods FTW

If SVT was still in the works then we would probably have this:

The explorer never had a 4v dude.

Its a 2v motor, but all aluminum (to save weight and help the mpg).

no biggie … it’s tough to find them on the road anyways … there always in the shop …

but the new 07 does get the V-8 option … hope is still alive for that truck … and SVT is still going

but if it were in production it would be a simple package to swap in.

RIP to the lightning concept :frowning: 500hp truck would have been nice. My friend actually went to the dealership to put 10K down on a lightning and the sales person told him they wernt making them anymore. He was so pissed (both the sales person and my friend)

a black srt8 jeep drove by me through an intersection today in the opposite direction…one of the nastiest (in a good way) sounding cars i’ve ever heard…ever…got chills from it…

sounded like a huge speed boat…i would totally rock on, but i’d probably be scared shitless to feel that kind of accelleration in that type of vehicle…i would never feel safe going that fast in any SUV…

an old lady past me in a srt8 jeep :frowning: she prolly told them give me the best one you have and thats what they gave her
