It's getting ridiculous over here, too. We're not long to catch up on this! The V8 guys must have better jobs for all the gas money they need... The scene is bouncing back well from the drop in the economy and the subsequent die-off of the automotive aftermarket over here, and the Carlisle Nationals are one of the largest make-specific car shows in the country. I see pics of the shows you all get; it's a marvel to me all the really cool things we just never saw here!

Being a Focus fanatic, I'm making due with the 2.0l I got, so I have fallen in love with what that continent has done with small engines. There's proper respect because folks know four (or five) cylinders can get a helluva lot done if you build 'em right. I always get to have the "V8's are better" conversation. Then I show them footage of a EsCos ripping around an entire corner at-speed and they shut right up!
