What the heck is this?

I believe it is a Ford Fiesta from hell. No, really. Kind of of like the Clieo 24V if you know that car. It was redone to have a turbo charged mid engine layout w/E30 M3 fender blisters.

You're right about that part! The car is a wild hellbeast. A couple of weeks ago while driving Shogun # 2 I nailed it after a slow rolling start in first gear just as the 2000 or 2001 Trans Am next to me nailed it. I had two car lengths on him before I reached for second gear.

I'm glad to see that Chris, Scot, and I aren't the only ones here that know what a Shogun is. I believe Scot will become a true Shogun expert.

What, is the S2000 like marijuana? A gateway drug that leads to harder drugs? First I'm out buying a semi-eccentric, misunderstood car like the S2K. Next thing you know I'm out getting Shogun's and telling my friends "I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want"

P.S. I see it is listed as having a the V6 SHO engine. The one I have seen previously had the Turbo 4 from the Mustang (also w/ a SHO designation I believe). Oh well.
