Let those hot hatches keep playing Kirby.

My dad told my brother and I that his name was in the credits because he knew we would never beat that shit.

One of these meets i'll have my girl bring out my Fiesta ST. I'll let you take it for a spin. Its a fun zippy car and i enjoy it a lot. But theres something about the BRZ that always makes me choose it over the FiST. Even before it was boosted.

Fiesta is definetly a little faster than a stock 86 though due to the turbo giving it the extra torque

It does not come with one unfortunately. And you can kinda feel it. At the same time the car is a bit taller than the 86 so you can also feel the body roll. I bought it more as a fun practical car (and also cuz the WRX isnt offered as a hatch anymore) but i enjoy it for what it is.

You know if anybody in 1978 ever said that this conversation would occur someday I would have laughed my ass off at them!
