Ford Focus ST Priced < $25k

In my experience the Maxima is pretty damn stout. I'm thoroughly impressed with that car... especially the handling. Altima? Not so much. GM_Traitor3.5's Maxima kicks a lot of butt. Especially

GM_Traitor3.5's Maxima kicks a lot of butt. Especially now since it's on Eibachs and Super Sports. Last year on the stock all-seasons we did a Dragon run with him, me, Red__Zed, and shadoquad (total ~4800lbs) and didn't die. What a rush. Kudos to Nissan for building a really nice, fun sedan.

Perhaps we are setting the bar too low for a proper comparison. Thus far every car I've been in meets this survival standard.

You don't understand the dragon at night.


There's deer, and there's turns, and there are 240sx's with drift ornaments and stickers that say fwd sucks.

And then there are people in very heavy Maximas with something to prove.

I'd like to point out that it was the four of us plus the car that weighed that much, not just me...
