@@ScottMerrihew Ok, I'm genuinely thinking about buying one of these now. I was about to spend 20k on a very clean and low miles Fiesta ST, but I was a honda fanboy from my motorcycling days and half that buys a good one of these easy. Hmmmm.

@@R3LF13 as an 8th gen owner, do it, they’re very underrated. You can get an extremely clean 8th gen for less than 12k. The interior is laid out extremely well, with a buttery smooth shifter and sharp steering. They make the same hp and both have LSD’s but the k20 has much more tuning potential and support. Coils, tires, and rear anti roll bar and it’ll handle very well.

Wish I was there with my K20C2 GenX 6MT sedan. I'm also hitting about 150km/hr before turn 1. No one knows about the base Gen X, but it's the most reliable (and affordable) way to setup a car that can do 120s at TMP. Price are starting to come down for used 2017 model (avoid 2016 because of piston slap) and Quebec has inventory if no good deals in Ontario.
