Why are British Fords so much better than American fords?

>that feeling when Americans have to import Fords to the US because they weren't allowed to drive them for 25 years

Don't speak for everybody arsehole

Escort Cosworths are exempt from the 25 year rule

Coming from an american, our government is entirely composed of idiots. Thousands of people in office and most of them doing it wrong. First world struggle.

>that feel when we'll never get the Falcon xr6 turbo because rustangs and muh heritage

Why is that?

dunno, i think someone applied for approval and got it

>our government is entirely composed of idiots.
Government is a reflection on the voters

Ho ho. Got me. Damn, wish I could be clever on the internet.

Even when brit ford gives merica ford a car, they manage to screw it up.
Lucky they didn't make that mistake with the focus and fiesta.

We got the nicer Trim of the ST170 with the SVT, the downside was we didn't get the nicer headlights or the early model RS.

Can you give me an example where this isn't the case?

wat

Idk about you people but this shit looks fucking ugly. I don't really care if they're better when it looks like ass.

At least
Looks cool because racecar. Keep your shit on the islands please.

as far as the performance stuff goes they have never really built a bad car that i can think off off the top of my head, usually quite pretty next to other cars of the time too.

>split rear windows
why?

probably to give the chassis more rigidity or something like that

US Ford
>Ford Anal Probe
>Mustang of the same era only made 200 HP out of a 289 CID V8
>no one ever bought the XR4
>Ford Transit can't be sold with rear windows because of 50 year old tax

UK Ford
>Ford Escort Cosworth
>based Ford Fiesta

Excuse me?

HIDs were an option on SVT Focus.

The Tempo sold like hotcakes though. And we got those under the Merkur brand, they were shit.

Ford Probe actually performed well against the competition
Mustang made 225hp and 300 lb ft from a 302
you could buy a Mustang GT and a Probe GT and still have money left over with what the Escort cost when they were all new
XR4 was shit
who cares about a shitty van when US vans are better
who cares about a generic shitbox?

Yes, HIDS were an option, but the actual headlight assembly was different.

None of the aftermarket headlights look like the Euro models either so you have to import them or buy them from someone in the community.

>ford fiesta
>ford UK

The butt hurt is palpable

I know

he cant even bother to reply hes probably fuming and crying to a photo of the queen

>clever
I was being serious

Nope

No. I meant from the yanks.
Yanks car will never be relevant.

>when you ask yuropoors to design mustang

better than being an irrelevant country if you ask me
not to mention UK doesnt make anything of significance and hasnt for years

looks like a riced AMC Eagle lel

Now that we get the mustang here in blighty there aren't any USDM-only fords i care for

But yet you can't stop talking about us.

how bad is the education over there to think that being talked about makes you relevant

Hitler is dead therefore irrelevant but people talk about him plenty

pls shitpost better

Yes, because the american model looked so much better...

Oh dear.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks

I think you chose the wrong file m80

That wouldn't look too bad without the cheesehole wheels

>>Ford Anal Probe
That was a Mazda though.

You did, too

My Dad owned 2 of these when i was younger. Too bad they rusted like shit and old people are making prices rise.

ford europe development happends in germany

It was 506 pixels when I downloaded it...

you mean Essex, uk

Cologne, Germany.

Ecoboost was developed in the UK

wtf i hate the uk now

Forget something?

Why are German GMs so much better than American GMs?

...

...

>Shitty Pinto SOHC 2.3 turbo
>Not godlike DOHC 2.0

NO, it would have seemed Ford USA forgot something

>burgers never got the original Lotus with a GM engine swap

Is this thread some form of British weebism?

Both US and Euro Ford had some great vehicles, and both built some terrible shitboxes too.

Shhh youll interrupt their shitposting, it's how Euros cope with being unable to have almost anything Veeky Forums related that's fun.

the na dohc 2.0 was a crock of shit
this is the only dohc 2.0 that mattered

>it's how Euros cope with being unable to have almost anything Veeky Forums related that's fun
it's how Euros cope with being unable to have anything even remotely like fun*

...

and that's why they give you shittier cars

Fucking rad paint.

>riced manta

This kills the Opel.

That's the engine I meant, forgot to put turbo, cheers

>when yuropoors build their own mustang, with hookers and blackjack

Gone in 45 seconds.

Amerikeks btfo

Our limited technology only allows us to farm Burgers, enjoy everything we don't get.

>Why are British Fords so much better than American fords?
bc the american ford bar is pretty fuckign low?

I'll admit, a major part of my decision to buy a Fiesta ST was that it was the closest thing we've gotten in my adult lifetime to the British Fords I've been lusting after for decades.

The AM looks more like it, but IMO this is the real Yuro 'Stang right here.

this post stinks like sour grapes.

You look like ass.

wait, what?

I think it's more like this thread stinks of sour grapes. Euros arr outright pathetic on here, "look at all this cool shit that almost nobody but a CEO can own because of how our laws work!" Meanwhile a student in the US can buy and insure a 5.0L sports car for insanely cheap.

>opel mantas and sierra cosworths are unattainable
>ford gts aren't

Aren't Sierra Cosworths pretty rare and pricey?

>moving goalposts
His point was that Mustangs with high horsepower V8s are more easily attainable for Americans which draws you eurocucks to be as insanely jealous as you lot usually are

As well as XR4s, etc. Remember when that on europoor made that giant-ass template for other europoors to put their cars on and it was like seven 1.2L hatches and an AW11 N/A on blocks?

RS500s are

Also I should add that stock cheap mustangs usually have shit power but thats because they're detuned, and are cheap to modify to get a lot of power out of. Not like their stock power is the engines absolute limit.

Must have missed that, can't be on here 24/7 m8

Absolutely this, the only euros that I see on here that don't bitch about V8s are usually Germans who have enough sense to use LPG instead of just petrol

>an buy and insure a 5.0L sports car for insanely cheap
and it'll be worse in every way than any euro car.
america is irrelevant in anything automotive related

>worse in every way than any euro car
Even your 1.2L shitbox? Yeah nah
>America is irrelevant for anything automotive related
Remember when Ford embarrassed Ferrari not once, but twice at LeMans? Oh, you conveniently forgot, how yuropoorean of you

>Remember when Ford embarrassed Ferrari not once, but twice at LeMans? Oh, you conveniently forgot, how yuropoorean of you

that was in 1969, and the car was developed in britain

>"""""Forgetting""""" this year's LeMans
>the one where Ferrari tried to sabotage Ford through the officials and ended up cucking themselves
Truly pathetic

>final 2 years of the GT40 winning were British entries

See

Hahahaha weren't you just accusing me of sour grapes for no reason?
>I can't have it it must be terrible

>itt: butthurt yurocucks get BTFO by FREEDOM
Business as usual I see.

you mean the one Porsche won? Like the the year before.
The yanks haven't even be in contention for about 50 years.
Yanks are so shit at automotive sports they had to invent their own. And any time the euros or japs get involved in those, they make the yanks look stupid.

What was the name of that yankie F1 team?
Oh wait, there isn't one.
What was the name of that yank exotic super car manufacturer?
Yeah, I never of them either.
What was that world famous race track in yankland? The one people from all over the world travel to drive on?
It doesn't exist

Remind me again how america is relevant?

>B.B.But mah Vee ate
Fuck off

>F1
You mean the most corrupt form of motorsport? The one that's about as bad as FIFA? That one? Right, keep moving the goalposts because you know you lot are utter shit, especially Brits, when it comes to endurance racing, but keep claiming German engineering as your own
>V8
It was actually a TTV6 that kicked Ferrari's ass, but you still refuse to admit it, sour grapes for sure

>VAG spends ten gorillion eurobucks on developing the Jewgatti OyVeyron just to claim the title of "fastest car in the world"
>a yank conman LS swaps a Lotus and slaps two turbos on it, promptly stealing VAGs "fastest car" title and absolutely destroying the OyVeyron after 60mph

>Boosted LS7 Block won't hold together long enough to do a return run
>No outright speed record
