Hang on, this might be shock marketing.... you know, sort of like when you are reading a girly mag and they put a pic of a fat chick or "alternative lifestyle gentleman" on a page to break your concentration and make you realise just how good the mainstream product really is.

I like the GTIRs as well. It was either one of them, a 300zx, or the Monty. Than the loan people said it had to be less than 7 years old and not imported. So the decision was made. I think I made the right one.

I have always and will always like the S15's.

I have come very close to buying one on two occasions now. I will probably end up buying one someday as they look good, handle well and go reasonably well with minor modifications to the engine and are good value for money. I couldn't care less if it is Japanese because the people that bag the Jap cars have obviously never driven one on a decent road and are probably too narrow minded to ever do it.

Meh, your loss.

Have driven a couple of mildly worked GTi-Rs ... damn ... these things do haul. (Especially when they are putting out in the vicinity of 350kw at all 4 wheels.)
I am not closed minded like many of the people on this forum (sorry but it's true).

There are some very nice (extremely quick) imports out there ... and there's also a lot of crap riced up ones as well.

Don't get me wrong ... I love my Fords ... but I also have respect for a well modified import (even have the respect of fairly stock ones as well).

As for an EA giving a GTi-R a hard time ... it was one of 2 things ... the GTi-R sounded like it had mechanical issues ... or the driver of it couldn't drive for peanuts (I suggest the latter though).

It's not that everything posted has to have a Ford badge but oo-ah-swoon posts of Jappo zing boxes followed by 50 schoolboy responses most quoted direct form the spec column of wheels & motor, serve no purpose here.

It isn't general interest and there are dark corners of the internet specifically for such enthusiasm.

It would be marginally more appropriate, but worth nothing in comparison with the feedback for those who are actually owning, buying and driving these vehicles.

If you have an axe to grind you can take it to PM thanks.
