This is ridiculous.

I've never seen such billigerant rambling in the defense of a person in all of my life. The questions that Foe Kusser has asked and the comments that he has made aren't indicative of someone who wants to cause problems or insult anyone, but rather of someone that finds benefit in seeing the reality of things. I agree with him 110% that your claim should be supported by factual evidence, I'd be a window-licking drool mongrel not to. I refuse to spend $6,000 on assumptions and baseless talltales, but with PROOF, I'd be more than happy to try any product that you might offer... Tom, We're not being jackasses, we're being intelligent consumers who feel that a reputable company with something to prove should have something.. well.. to prove it's worth.

You can cuss and scream at me all day long for challenge your NASA-recognized time, but until you add leverage to your claim, you'd might as well be telling me that John Force drives the car on Tuesdays. It's not that I don't believe you, It's that I WON'T believe you until there's something solid to stand on.


That's just common sense.

I have one question how much would this cost. Not including the research and broken parts just st8 out build the car.

your kit plus upgrades.

The engine upgrades and the new tranny plus whatever else may be included.

I just wanna know an estimate.

15K ?

137mph in a 2500lb car = 506hp now that would be pretty impresive on a Zetec. Richard Holden had to use a T66 turbo and some pretty wild stuff to get 514hp on the dyno and never even drove the car on the street (becuse it wouldn't work) and your driving this car to the track and running in the 10's. I would like to see some proof as well.

I back Tom up... not b/c I know him, or buy his products, but it seems beleivable to me... HOWEVER, I would like to see some proof as well.

Tom doesn't have to prove anything like he stated earlier, however I think that seeing proof would result in more sales of your kit, and people trying to dip into the 10s.

Pritty wild stuff is an understatement , But im not Richard Holdner and this isnt California and we know what were doing on the east coast , We dont need a ice chest sitting beside the car with hoses to the air to water intercooler sitting on the engine where the hood wouldnt even close to make high HP , I have done over 500 to the wheels with air to air (dyno has been posted) , T66 should of made well over 700 and with all the other boltons should of been easy to get

No i didnt drive it to the track but could of as allways i trailor it incase something happens

As for a list of my mods they have been posted many times

Tom

Your correct this is ridiculous , If my past prooven history isnt enough with what i have done with the Focus with both times and HP gains far above anyone else with less done to the engines and cars than how is showing 1 time slip going to change anyones mind

My past isnt assumptions or talltales and is all backed up and supported is the last 4.5 years of history with the Focus not enough?

am i the only one that thinks foe is asking a decent question? Sometimes i really cant beleive the intelligence of focus owners...we may as well be SRT forums, or NASIOC.

someone answer his question...and not sidestep the issue by saying tom is t3h w1n. I dont doubt tom is the win, but id like to see a timeslip

a time slip would make this run more valid in everyones mind. a mans word is only able to hold so much trust in someone, but a mans word backed by physical evidences leaves no room for doubt. I want to see the time slip as well.
