Ford XR4TI
i saw a ford xr4ti today on my way home and the guy gave me a nice blow-off valve salute as he drove by me. i had never even heard of those things til today. i came home and did some research. 200hp and good torque in a tiny ass car. its kinda like a US version of the cosworth.

What color was it? Could have been Ebonomo, he hangs out at P-town alot, along with his two sons. Very cool older guy, that is if it was a dark blue and grey. He's running I believe a T3/T4 custom set-up with a built block, and nitrous. There is also a red one rolling around with the Cossie rear wing, and I've seen a white one with a front mount. Actually, I think all of them have a front mount.

they weigh a shit-ton. i have never been impressed with these cars, not even remotely.
and from what i hear, the guy that comes out to ptown gets his ass handed to him all the time.

dude.. they sold like shit becuae no one knew what hte fuck they were... jesus christ.. 4 years on the lot and you think they would be the best selling..????
Merkur- German translation of MERCURY.. no wonder they sold on lincoln mercury lot's...
They dont weigh all that much.. stock everythine on them they top out about 2900 full leather electric everything....
Non intercooled.. and which guy goes out to p-town.. dont get me wrong some merk's are fast.. and some arnt... the auto's dont relaly have alot to say.. they either are slow or god awful fast.. theres not much inbetween for the auto merks...
Im just surprised that people can come on here and talk all this trash but yet not know anything about the car.. I dont talk shit about honda's unless I know them.. and I do know what a GSR is and is capable of.. and an s2000.. other than that I have pretty much kept my mouth shut.. thought I might be able to get a little respect back... piss on little fords all you want.. but driving this car is nothing like driving a fast car.. this car is just a blast to drive.. and I would never part with it.. unless I would be able to buy another... its an addiction.. you either hate or love or dont have a clue... hate all you want.. just more I will be able to love
The blue one that guy was talking about is a nice merk.. just has a little c3 as a tranny and isnt all that quick at certain times.. he will take you on the strip but the interstate he doesnt have much.. he should be topping out around 110... I havent talked to him.. just the guy who built the car.. the guy who built the car has a red one that is even more of a bad ass.. with a 5 speed.. so he will just straight up stomp anything over a 13...
