I did get to feel the sti with the proper Swaybars and springs and camber setting on some 255's and I have to tell you that thing felt perfect. the balance was perfect. Could make it rotate if I wanted to but still stable... OH BTW going WOT with 350 HP before apex is nice... but hopefully I will be pleasantly surprice with the focus once I get mine!!

An STI is very nice I had a lot of fun at the track with it, but the focus is very easy to drive. This past monday at the track the Focus was one of the fastests cars out there.....we tested a new suspension setup and new tune and a new clutch setup and also just completed a balance shaft delete. The car was very fun and you could not put the car in the wrong place it was so predictable. I softened the front sway bar and the car had so much front grip and still the tires held up really nice and did not over heat after 45 minutes of running.

There was an SCCA open wheel car there and he drove the car after his broke and he really liked how the car handled....a lot of three wheeling was noticed through out the track.

I have driven a lot of cars and my two favorites are the Focus and the ZO6....the ZO6 at Willow Springs (big track) is AWESOME!!!! you must try this car...it is a kick A## ride, especially holding a drift through turn 8 is an experience.....

Say it's not true Leo......

After all my years of racing, I am my best sponsor. Maybe I'm just not good enough to be sponsored by someone else

..........but it hasn't stopped me from trying and trying and trying.....and you know what?...I will try again. But, like others have said here, most of us just bust our butts to afford the racing we love so much, on whatever level we end up on.... You never know who's watching..

Oh, and by the way....I think Leo runs a great operation and his experience and expertise shows at every event...
