350-400 should be fine as long as your not doing like low speed 1st or 2nd gear rolls. Although, that's probably as high as you want to go lol. Either way, you didn't buy the right car if you buy the ctr to do low speed rolls.

Or just spend 5k and get a Motec and use their traction control lolol.

I didn't really mean "spacious". I meant it has more space than a S2000. I don't think people who are looking at a hot hatch is going to be cross shopping it with a mustang or a camaro anyways.

I bought a 19k mile Fiesta ST this past weekend. I plan on keeping it until you can get a decent CTR in the sub-25k area. I'm guessing two years?

I guess if you're only goal was to make yourself look like a tool, you've really aced things.
My goal was to talk about the effects of aero on high speed acceleration.

Probably should have chose a better word and that's my bad, but really I am not using the word in the context of making fun of anyones sexuality. Maybe I should have used the word 'flashy' (making fun of the blind) or 'ricey' (making fun of the asians).

Obnoxious, tasteless, unappealing, silly, etc.

In my spare time, I do like making fun of people that can't drive manuals because I am an ableist shitlord. The good move on Hondas part was to have a row your own for the real purists who can drive but really need that wing to slow them down otherwise they would just be too hot to handle

Have we wandered into reddit, something awful, or even 4chan perhaps?

Haha 400hp is alright. Quite a few Fk2's are making that kind of power with a tune and exhaust. I just wouldn't expect it to do 0-60mph in 3.5s or something.

This thread went from kind of interesting conversations to /r/funny comments really fast...
