Welcome to Episode 3. Live on Speed right now. (10p EDT, 7pm PDT)

**BUR_ZX3** · 10-31-2007, 10:00 PM

Looks like the producers finally got it together in post for the graphics formatting.

**BUR_ZX3** · 10-31-2007, 10:08 PM

Why is it that no matter which episode, the "competition" always appears to be clueless when it comes to working on their car?

(and I guess I spoke too soon about the graphics... )

**Robs06** · 10-31-2007, 10:09 PM

Yes, I think you did speak too soon.

thats because FS is the best

**Chaney** · 10-31-2007, 10:10 PM

They are clueless because they do not work on the car every day like Focus Sport, everyone is hiring someone else to do the work where as the crew at FS does it all themselves

**Robs06** · 10-31-2007, 10:12 PM

I wonder what exactly the Skunk2 crew actually did to the Evo.

not only that skunk 2 i dont think did anything themselves yet. they just had someone come in and put the turbo and exhaust on for them.

**BUR_ZX3** · 10-31-2007, 10:15 PM

Vik's in the engine working on the pistons, and the competition is still trying to figure out how to bolt in a turbo kit.

If FocusSport doesn't win on the "we're the team that actually knows how to do this stuff ourselves" merit, then there is many wrongs in the world.

And the CF.

**BUR_ZX3** · 10-31-2007, 10:20 PM

Did Vik just say 450hp?!?!?!?!?

**MattZTS** · 10-31-2007, 10:21 PM

yes he did 400-450hp

**Robs06** · 10-31-2007, 10:21 PM

I'd like to know exactly how much power the Focus puts down.

**focuspl99** · 10-31-2007, 10:22 PM

^^^^^ hehehe tell us this is wHP not crank HP

**Egz** · 10-31-2007, 10:22 PM

Impressive work guys.

**MattZTS** · 10-31-2007, 10:22 PM

is anyone else really pissed about the other teams? seriously i think they should be dq'ed for not doing work them selves. i mean skunk hasnt done anything yet.

seriously randy does that piss you off?

**S. on Da 5** · 10-31-2007, 10:24 PM

Focus Sport is ruling right now!!!

**MattZTS** · 10-31-2007, 10:25 PM

seriously in my opinion. even if FS loses. which i highly doubt. they won for doing the work themselves.

They dyno'd the car on their dynojet at 450hp?! If so, sign me up for that turbocharger

**BUR_ZX3** · 10-31-2007, 10:26 PM

woah he can adjust his octane! The oil companies should hire him!

No.... Vik was saying that if you're gonna hit that mark, they have to hand build the engine.

**zetecgt** · 10-31-2007, 10:28 PM

I missed it. I guess that what happens when the semi-better half gets the damn remote!

I found that quite amusing.

**orionlion82** · 10-31-2007, 10:29 PM

i havnt seen the speed channel or its website in years.
WHAT HAPPENED?

even looked in your junk drawer to find a rubber band and stuck yourself on one of those mini screwdrivers?

worst web designer ever.

everything in a pile. how am i supposed to find a blog about this?

and there is navigation to simplyfy - and drill down if you want,
but theres 65 different different catagories, with exceptionally unclear titles. there needs to be maybe like 5.

"going faster"... "moving up"...

"this might or might not be what you want to click on to see if youre looking in the right place so click here and well waste your time and drive you up the wall"

i cant find any blogs about anything- as a mater of fact i was just on the page for two minuets looking around and i cant remember anything i saw because i was so overwhelmed.

it was really like being in the bottom of a hot tub underneath 60 mental patients learning how to do the YMCA.

ughh. i had to shut that **** down.
they really need to fire the people handling their website.
i give up.

ill take your guys word for it.

that was too much to handle right there...
im gonna have a glass of icewater and sit in the dark to chill out.
