that focus costs way too much to build . its quite bad .

I would take a 96 escort hatch back, and throw in an awd setup from a cosworth and keep it in stock appearance. if shep can run 7's on 8 inch tires might as well keep the 14's on the escort . they'll do

i think any honda running 13's with out a giant intercooler in the front, is a pretty good sleeper, honda are so big here but a lot of places in the country people don't think every honda is swapped. i have been stationed places where the fasted cars around at basically stock mustangs and no one even know how to, or what a turbo is.

i have a supercharger swapped civic and after people looking the front, see no intercooler, then they want to race me. i get all kinds of cars reving at me. pick trucks, suvs, all kinds of stock cars.

but here is my favorite i wish there was more of them made or they weren't like 10k to buy a used one.

more pics and infos here

M5 Compact (Update 04.05.200 [ 3er BMW - E36 ] - www.BMW-Syndikat.de [Fotos - Bilder - Stories])






a friend of mine drives this....just a BMW E30 3 series



if you open the trunk, you'll see this



so, now I bet you're curious what kind of motor he sprays with that bottle.....actualy he doesn't spray that in the engine rather than on the FMIC of the S38B37 M5 Turbo motor

900 bhp @26 PSI and race gas, he is aiming for over a 1000 bhp with his new project....same motor and new turbo in an E30 M3 shell, build up all by himself

I think the green Pinto station wagon with the 2.3T motor in Polk County is a good sleeper. That thing is awesome.
