How about this thought, How many ladies have you seen in bikini's modeling an escort, No matter how much ya make it faster, the question is were are the lady's going to be?

Reliability is my issue. Making a race car is one thing, making a race car a driver is another thing.

True race and drag cars are built for racing or drag racing only, they cant handle city driving.

Yeah nothing like having a car that only attracts guys.

hahahaha you need nice cars to get ladies
thats a shame, you shouldnt have to get an exspensive car to impress

Well in my opinion an escort or tracer isnt a very cool car, so i think that may be the only reason to make one fast, you know how funny it is when a crappy car is real fast, so i really think you should just look into alot of nitrious, dont spend a buncha money

yeah well im putting a 16g turbo on it, its gonna cost some money but the its looking 1500 is probably the most im spending

If I would ever Soup-up any 4 Banger it would be an import due to their reliability.

Not true it with a DSM(Talon,Eclipse,Laser)By far the best bang for your buck!!!Fact... The DSMs are more american made than most of our current vehicles.Fact....TURBO...The only replacement for dispacment.With a ferd escert...I wouldnt try it...but thats me!!

Fact DSM cars have piston ring problems, any car out there has problems, if you know cars it wouldnt be hard to fix it

Have you ever seen the feoa video on youtube.com, if you havent go watch it, it might change your mind on the 2nd and 3rd generation escorts
