Its torque not hp. The Duratec trannies are not known for being able to handle much torque.

Had started my interior color conversion from gray to black using the SEM paint. Good stuff and pretty durable but can still get scratched up. So was thinking I might try some spray on bedliner. Super durable and extremely hard to scratch; if at all when used on the interior. Can test it on a Kona door panel to make sure it doesn't react badly with the vinyl and plastic and melt it or something weird. Would be nice and black with a little texture. Think i'll test it out to see. Don't want to have to keep retouching up the scratches all the time.

Could be the photo blending in the black ... not a good photo to see how low you really are.

But it definitely doesn't look too low yet ...

Just saw a Kona w/roof rack at used car lot in la porte. Looks clean, 70,000 miles but they want $6500 for it. Too much $$$$$.
