Up for sale is my pride and joy; a 2013 Ford Focus ST. The car has been extensively modded with virtually no area left untouched. It is a blast to drive, putting down 350hp to the wheels (thats more than the new Focus RS has at the crank). She recently took home top honors at Focus Rising 2016 (one of the largest focus and fiesta shows in the world) and she turns heads wherever I go. All the work was done right and with quality parts, no cheap stuff here. The car was recently repainted (less than 5000 miles ago) receiving a full color change in Ford Competition Orange. True Colors Collision did all the paint and body work. Again, no corners were cut here, the car was completely disassembled and repainted so all the door jams and such match. As far as I know this is the only third generation Focus ST this color in the world.The wheels, tires, and upgraded turbo kit were all put on after the new paint job so theyre all still pretty fresh. The car was professionally tuned by Dead Hook Motorsports, theyre one of the top ecoboost tuners in the country. The car has tons of power with almost no lag, but it is still composed enough to be driven daily and get over 32mpg on the highway. There are only two flaws with the car, the first is a small chip in the windshield, I had it repaired the day it happened and safelite guarantees it not to crack further but it is still visible. The passenger side seat also needs the occupancy sensor replaced. If the buy it now is used I will have these issues fixed immediately. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, and if you are local (DelMarVa area) I will gladly take you for a test drive. I will be driving the car until it is sold so the mileage may increase & the car is for sale locally as well. There is still a small balance on my loan, but my loan company has assured me that there will be no delay in receiving the title once it is paid.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
