The worlds greatest drag race returns.

I'll take one of each please. Well maybe not the Focus....it was only marginally faster than my truck after all.

Except your truck is at least RWD (or 4x4 depending), I think the 14.6 is very respectible from a FWD car.

I kind of have a dog in this fight though since I own an ST. I have the COBB tune on mine and it makes about 230whp @ 5500 and 317 wtq @ 2500, try launching that through the front wheels...traction is very hard to come by even through 2nd gear.




MMMM, I would love that Aston though....R8's aren't bad either and may be the bargain of that group; exotic looking, Lambo V10, and they look good.

A man after my own automotive heart! I work at a dealership that has had many $100k a few $200k and even at least one $300k cars lurking around. We have the Bentley Speed here now. The only one that has ever sent my heart a-pitter-pattering was the Aston.

I always enjoy watching that but this year's line-up is more odd than ever. Why not the best of:

Ford Mustang
Chevy Corvette
Chevy Camaro
Dodge Viper
Dodge Challenger
Nissan GTR
Lexus LFA
Subaru WRX

I'm sure there are other similars. Go ahead and throw in some of them European models.

This would make more sense.

The v6 Nissan won. Our last two TV's have been v6 Nissan's.

The station wagon was 5th. Luv it!

Worlds Best?, you are joking right, maybe it's just me, but I don't consider the Focus a "performance" car, & putting a 2.0 up against that company, with 5.0, 5.2 6.0, etc. is a joke, while I do agree that it did respectable for what it is, & I do plan on buying one.

I would take the Bentley or the Aston Martin even if they came in last. I could trade it in for a Chevy Volt and have money left over for fuel and batteries for the rest of my life and build a new garage to put it in.
