Yep, could run in the 12's, get almost 30mpg, pay $50 a month for full coverage, and still invest less than half the cost of most of you guys' cars .

Good times though, the wagon is using a J-Spec GTR motor and the rings were spent. He found that out after the track when the car died and started smoking when restarted.

yea escort gts have alot of potential. Its funny when they go to tracks and porsches are doing laps in their 60k+ car and an escort gt turbo passes them. Most people would be surprised how strong the bp is, mazda did a great job, and i wish they overbuilt their engines now like they did in the bg chassis days. Peace

In no way am i trying to be a jerk but who fuckin cares about a ugly ass escort, dont get me wrong, im all for someone wanting to have fun with their car but what a freakin joke,take the time and effort and atleast do it to something someone would like to own, atleast some of the imports look half way nice when they are finnished, when your all said and done its still a escort!?
