I'm liking the new SS and also the Focus RS depending on whether or not it lives up to the hype..

Yea the torque can be pretty useless at times but its fun to drive. I just dont really have a need for it having my Mustang, and with the house payment I'd like to see the ST go.

The 16s have grown on me, particularly in white.

Torque is nice, but like you said it's useless/in the wrong place. It would be a good engine to tow my boat with lol

The new Camaros are nice. Lotta power out of the box. Mustangs are a lot cheaper and seam to get more out of small mods. Both will be in the 11s with a tune and tires. You might be able to get the Camaro there with just tires.

If i decide to totally ditch nitrous for a while i may start piecing some turbo stuff together. I reeeeally want some boost, but with how nicely we did the wiring i cant see myself tearing it back out so i'll prob leave my solenoids in the bay at least until i have a motor that would take a little spray on top of the boost.
