What 9 year old girl language will you be replying with? LOL, ROFL? or something else?

At this point, I think we're all confused. So I'll let Spock give it a try.

Nope, he doesn't understand your logic either.

We see little reason to buy a ZX2 Coupe over a Focus. The ZX2's lower price might be attractive, but the difference isn't that great. All the while, the Focus has a roomier interior, better suspension and handling, and better crash-test scores. If the ZX2 were middle management, it would probably be fired by now.

Mine has Eibach springs and Biltein/KYB shocks, a larger rear sway bar, rear discs, Corbeau seats and some other things. A ZX2 is lighter than a Focus so it's faster no right of the bat.

On some cars (I should say intake systems) on others they are complete bunk.
I wasn't leaning hard with the video, it's informational that's all

Thanks bud. I'll buy the first round whenst next we meet?

XXOO.

Now, as to Nick waffling on his opinion of CAI's...

The OEM intake box on the N/A Crossfire is a POS and anyone who can hear thunder and see lightning would be well-served by replacing it with a home-built (as I did for ~ $150) or a very nice unit for a lot more. For what Rob sells these for, expensive, granted, he makes the very best available with every trick known (coatings, mandrel bent, etc.). It's effectiveness is well documented, even if you weren't presented with the evidence.

Someone looked it up for you. It was not being kept secret.

Finish. I'm outta' here.
