what i meant is, are there certain features other than orginal registration that make it a euro spec? such as different engine, more performance, no emissions items, so on?

I will bet $1000 that those will not last over 150k miles without significant work on the drivetrain.
would you expect anything less from the engineers at ford?

I'm a Chrysler guy...I'd take a Crossfire anytime and I love Caravans and Dakotas. Other than that I have two GMs in my driveway now...

i like the old chargers and i really like the new jeep hurricane that has 2- hemi engines in it, the dodge ram sidewinder would put an svt lightning to shame, but i like my 1991 ford escort wagon so im not hatin on ford ... but the most pimp ride i ever had was a 1985 ford tempo 4-door 5-speed with just an E brake to stop me lol haha man do i miss those glory days...

that is the worse trade in the entire world... well that is if its a WS6 that thing is a beast. As far ford goes, i am a ford guy and have owned 2 stangs, 92 5.0 and a 2000 sixer, which i just sold. How long can you expect an eight cylinder to last and the sixers should last forever bc its a 4.0 L with only 210hp, the six was weakened so people would prefer the more expensive GT and the GT doesnt have 400 HP bc the car would be 40k then, not many people would buy a SOHC 3valve GT for 40K the market just doesnt call for it....The GT40 wasnt massed produced so a recall on that was just ford being retarted

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Just about any import can go at least twice as long
