Cam O'Neill 156,000miles 🙋🏻‍♂️

It’s legitimately one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned.

Should I buy one

I'm looking at -16 with 40k km on only

i got 120k miles on mine

ThatDudeinBlue I sold him the turbo he has lol

Car is super awesome

Sign me up

David you ever make it to Houston one day I have a built 2.0 st if you want to review it one day 👍🏼

Wack. All new 4 cylinder acting like it’s a v8 with low tq that’s not even enough to carry it up top it’s stupid. It might be great for street daily driving but if you gas it and it starts to die out mid way in the rpm what’s the point? Bring back the hi rev no tq peak hp 4 bangers!

yep, I want to nibble little hatchback to ride around in ... Not an elephant... That edge St is also $43,000.....so it's the exact same price as a Dodge Durango RT, not to mention that $43,000 is a lot of money for a little Ford Edge with a really poorly plastic interior and not fun to drive fast with its horrible transmission....smh

@@teej5619 I've seen prices for Edge STs as high as 50K! I can get a Focus RS and mod it for that much!

@@JDsHouseofHobbies ya see thats crazy..... There are so many other vehicles and better vehicles you can get for around $50,000 holy crap...

Yes agreed

Ford was pathetic to put the ST on a damn SUV. SUV it's a SUV not a race car. It seems that Ford is hating their enthusiast group lol. Look what they did with the mustang SUV, not only they put a mustang into a SUV, but made it electric 🤦🏻‍♂️

The R is a giant killer for one reason...........LSD ! I have ave Quaif LSD in my 2018 ST , different car , no torque steer and goes exactly where it is pointed coming out of a turn !

@D W used yeah

@D W you can also get a used same year mustang gt that's faster for the same or less...

@@SasquatchS550 ya but some people live in climates where if it's your only car year round, rwd isn't the best. Plus turbo noises.

@@derekgardin1512 this is true. My point was more taking a shot at the RS than the ST. I never got behind the hype if the RS's. I went with the cousin of the ST, the Speed3.

Trade me I have a 2017 5.0 🤣 I want the mpg and more room

@@MrAdrian13 Bro, if I didnt have a kid and could use a coupe, id probably trade you....with my stratified tune im probably getting worse MPG than you lol

@@jonathonhinkle89 ohh wow. you dont get 30+ mpg on the highway anymore?

adrian m8 no...since the catless DP and stratified time on 93 I get shit MPG...driving at 4K rpm to get those pops doesn’t help but it sure turns a lot of heads...on highway I get about 22 to 24

@@MrAdrian13 no...even if i shift around 2500 RPM on highway and i cruise in 6th gear in cruise control on a 3 hour ...drivce i average around 22-23...im running a stratified tune though on 93 which dumps more fuel to get the pops and crackles so that is playing a role in the low mpg...normal cobb tune or something may put me a little higher

Just like when dodge killed the srt 4, I had an 05 orange blast pearl, wow was it fun, torque stear was a bitch if you werent careful. Was looking for a decent used one but most are trashed now and low milage ones arent that cheap. Been looking at these ST's for a few weeks now and want to pick on up personally.

Ford only pulled them from the US market... The rest of the world can still buy them. Infact I'll be buying a new ST in a couple of years.

@@dirtybob2633 Its just sad in the US that this happens. Car companies and marketing teams force ideas and then say that we don't want___. We have a 2017 Forester XT that is no more as well saying only 5% of buyers bought them. We we got ours there was 1 on the dealer lot vs 20+ non turbos so yeah people can't buy if they aren't available. Or in the case of the RS added such a huge markup on the car it didn't make financial sense as a consumer to buy it.

Ford didn’t kill the focus Consumers did

New ST coming out in 2019, and most likely a new RS in 2020, so they just pulled the latest model. All though I have heard, that the new models wont be made available on the US market.

THIS IS A REAL FAST FORD, THAT MK2 RS is better than the ST and the RS MK3s. That volvo inline 5 is the only car today that sounds like the audi quattro sport inline 5. All these Type R,ST and RS guys should pay homage to the MK2 RS.

Same here pal, got a panther black st3. That 2.5 5 pot is in a league of its own

Yep that Volvo 2.5 is a great engine.

@@real_talk1180 any turbo I5 would sound like that.

Yeah bc those original 2.3 cylinder liners are dangerously thin from factory and the reason for blowing head gaskets. That 2.0 is stupidly durable. I'd hate to see what it would do in an rs versus the st.

@Dr Beechas yeah I've learned that since this comment and I don't even think sleeving the stock open deck block from the rs does any good either.

Well then as you probably know most people get these cars as daily’s and will do pretty much every thing to the car except for upgrade the turbo bc that gets rid of the day to day reliability, now if you’re talking about building a track car, fuck yeah rip that tiny ass snail outta there and boost the thing to the fuckin moon

Your slow self is here too? Oh god lol

@@BabaYagaRacing you're damn right lol

great choice man how do you like it!?

I can see dodge doing something like that

You made a way better decision.

@@kohlgossler7083 , honestly it is nice, not as bad as you'd think on gas. I expected it to be faster, but a few bolt ons and a tune and it should be where I want it to be!

that's what's up man, yeah I've heard just a couple select bolt one can make that car scream to 8k all day. congrants on the car man im glad you like it!

.... Lol throw a 70 mm turbo in your little Honda fit 😂👍, have it make like 500 bhp👍👍👍

The Fit has so much potential lol Honda Fit Type R

GE or GK?

I've love to see a K swapped Fit!!!!..I know your post is old

This comment didn't age well. It's so sad that Honda killed the fit, Idk why

hows it feel man? im stage 3 and debating either to go big turbo or just keep my small turbo with full bolts and just get a meth kit so i can be over 300 wheel at times. not permanently but when i need it i could spray meth for some idk maybe 330whp pulls? what do you think a full bolt 2014 ST1 could do with meth and catless dp compared to a big turbo no meth

@@ueehurstonsecurity8887 well, I have the smaller of the big turbo options, the car makes 335whp on 91 pump gas, no meth or aux fuel yet. It completely changes the dynamics of the car, the throttle response, the whole experience is different on a big turbo. Pros: Car is more easy to predict the throttle response, at low rpm you get better gas mileage and a smoother and acceleration. Once you pass the 3K rpm is where the fun begins. Additionally, the induction noises are awesome, let me upload a small driving around the block video and I show you what I am talking about. Cons: If drag racing from a dig, you need to learn how to predict the turbo lag, also on 40 rolls I have found the turbo lag to be a killer when you race cars on the same power level. I have done pulls with a friend on his Type R, full bolts on, pro tuned, he's got 385whp and I could keep up with him. We did a 40 to 100 pull and I got gapped by a few inches which I think it's impressive since I have 340whp vs 385, I could have maybe beating him if I learn how to break boost, because the lag was my killer on all 3 pulls we did. I am planning on adding a 4 port's aux fuel from Stratified soon, I am JST tuned, and I should be easily get around 380~400 whp once I am done with it. Overall I am loving my ST, and going BT made me fall in love with the car all over again, I would recommend it if you have 2500$ to throw at your car. Also I heard that the G25-550 is even a better option, it spools way quicker than the GTX series, but it's more expensive, you will need a dump tube and external wastes gate right away versus only a blow off valve and charge pipes with the TIAL flange you are required to install any GTX series turbo. Good luck bro, enjoy your ST 😁

@@ueehurstonsecurity8887 OK, that's the video, check the sounds up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lR-55GMe7Vc.html

I 100% agree!

what do you mean by "did a little tune" ??

@@mmmmmMuffinz there's a tuning company up in Michigan that specializes in turning up the turbos and tuning Ford Taurus SHOs.... I think David explains it in another video of his.......(but you get back to your question) I think it's like a stage 1 tune.... Cuz honestly going from 365 to 425 could be just a stage 1 or 2 tune, it's not like the VW store where you can go from 200 to 260 horsepower off of a flash

Did they know you were racing? Lol

Dan Carlos you serious right now? SHOs smoke scat packs vettes I’ve even seen one smoke a hellcat at the drags it eats 5.0s search it up on RU-vid 450whp awd is no joke

came here to say this

Congrats bro.👍

Nice to see you here.

Was about to dislike your comment but saw it was you so had to throw you a like haha love your videos but i have an ST... Have to rep my own

always

RS heavy, 200 lbs heavier than a base ST. RS also overrated stock. It actually has 325 to 335 hp depending on fuel octane. I beat my buddy's stock RS to 60 and 100 with a stg 2 tune, dp and sticky front tires not to mention the reliability issues with the 2.3.. Used RS's are all over the place on dealer lots.

Heck a stock Type R is 4+ mph faster in the 1/4 than a stock RS snd can pretty closely match the RS 0 to 60 time and thats "without" a fancy high rpm launch control. Launch the RS at 4k rpm and the Type R will beat it off the line.

could you tell me what headlights they are?

​@Mike Butchko yeah but the volvo looks like ass. I really love everything about volvos except their boring style looks.

@Mike Butchko does it have to be awd? What about the fwd version? I might be interested in getting one now. Lol

Its a shame seems like more and more companies what to make uninspired SUVs for the masses. At least Ford is making some ST versions but whats the point. Gone are the days where you could buy a new fun practical car right out of school for under 20k. The few that are left a solidly in the high 20s low 30s with stupid dealer add ons

6ft 180lbs barely fit in my x gen civic lol hit my head on the sunroof with every bump

Also pointing out the ST is a cheap car which means accessible to more people, bigger following, more aftermarket R&D, etc...

Also being a Fost owner, im always fighting the torque steer. All i have is intake, rmm, and a downpipe.

Small world!
