Lose the wing and maybe?
I have a focus with lots of after market watermelon but it aint riced out though LOL.

I've noticed most of the small car companies (small cars not small company) are introducing these riced out versions. I'd even go so far as to point to the exagerated tail on the WRX STi. Not to mention the fact that nitrous on a 152hp car sounds pretty ****ing stupid.

I dont know a 75hp shot of nitros in a 150hp engine makes for a 225hp engine.
Not to bad for a light car.
My focus was dynoed at 160hp and she huals arse.
They weight next to nothing.
Rolling beer cans.

Why the hell would anyone bother to Dyno a focus?

For the same reason I dynoed the 350z .
To see what it has got after the modes.

Snicker all you want But I tell ya for a little car she does alright.
And on a tight twisty road I will run circles around a bigger more powerful car.

And on top of that I get 30mpg all day long to boot:D

Read the "Saleen Base Equipment" list. Nobody is selling anything near this cheesy.
Also the wing on the STi is functional and required for FIA Group N homologation.

The STI could have a wing like a 747 and I would still buy one.
It Is a GREAT car and will kick the snot out of alot of cars costing twice as much.

Well ya got me there dude because I don't know what a 350z is.

Bold statement, if one takes it literally... I'm sure you didn't mean "all" bigger more powerful cars. OTOH, my Mom and Dad's GrandMarquis probably couldn't corner with you.

Yes, but it's still a ricer. It's not how fast it is, it's how it looks. It's just like rap music. Put a "C" in front of it and you have crap.

N20 is about the only thing I'd rank in the cheese... with the skirts of course.

And... I don't care if it's "FIA Grope Homocenric" or not... it's well above and beyond "functional". Everyone I know that has one (albeit only 4 people) want to replace it with a standard wrx tail.

The "bigger scoop" and "bigger tail" scene has hit. All else be damned.
