They are worth it if you know where to look, and be ready to do custom work. The parts are not readily available like honda's but they can be done. I have a 91 GT that will be seeing turbo soon. I never cared whether other people thought an escort is worth it. If you ask me an Escort is damn near like a civic. Look the same and pretty much drive the same. So do it for your self and dont try to be a part of the "trend"!
Ambient- Who do you know with a 2nd gen running 12's? Adam's car only ran a best of 13.0 I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know who you know b/c I would love to talk to them.

that's understandable. everyone wants to be different, but usually they all end up the same. this guy doesn't sound like he has passion because he's only fixing it up cuz it's what he has right now. me, i've loved camaros for 8-9 years, and don't want to own anything but.

oh, and how's wendy's bike?
