Not everyone's going to like probes even though you might love 'em... just like how I love my 944, but most of the guys here trash the car because it's an old poor man's Porsche. Everyone has, and is entitled to, their own opinions.

I don't think that's the issue, I like Ford Escort Cosworths. I like the current generation Mustang. But I don't like the older Probes. I don't like the last gen Mazda MX-6 but I don't mind the last gen Probe equivilent. Too bad they're so slow (the last gen non turbo ones).

there are only 2 things i dislike about the probe.

1. the name
2. the fact that the window wraps from the front around the the back, to the other side. it needs to be seperated by some c pillars (rears correct?).

The Probes are pretty much love 'em or hate 'em. I :love: em! For their age, they were pretty advanced, especially for a Ford.

I think that thing looks tight... I normally don't like kits that big, but it really suits the car :thumbsup:

As for if I like probes... I'm kinda on the fence, some are sweet like the above pic and others are crap. I know this goes for every car on the road but the fact of the matter is I don't really like Ford in general (pervious bad experiences)

HEY, vw's kick ass (even though mine looks like ass because of the rust).

dont know why but the whole picture seems to be photoshopped.
i maybe wrong but something just doesnt seem right, the background palmtrees and the s15 conversion car seems fishy

there's absolutly no way that's photoshopped.

i've never really liked probes, and i've never thought they were especially good looking. i've never driven one so i can't really say anything more about them than i think they're ugly.

I just miss having a Probe. No arguments, mine was a piece of shit. It needed about $5k put into it when I got rid of it, plus my dad wanted me to have a newer car while I'm in school so I don't have to worry about it. I never said it "sucks the big dildo"
Maybe one day I'll buy another one...

Actually- the main reason I sold it was cuz I just couldn't take your atx criticism anymore:( :rofl:

or that reactive exhaust dont forget about that... haha

no worries trev, still go to drop by the good ol DOMO and give me a shout

HRD2PLZ
07-17-2002, 04:43 PM
Yeah, I do. But your never working! :madred:
And, the kid I sold it to LOVED the ractive exhaust :rofl:
I don't know if I told you but it needed a right rear caliper, valve cover gaskets, cv boots, rear sway bar and a new paint job. And, I finally accepted the fact that my Probe would never have been as nice as yours...BTW- Kronyk's is looking pretty :thumbsup: :burnout:

it looks good to me, except for the weird ass steering wheel. it looks like someone cut it to get his Club off, so he decided to cut off the rest of the top! otherwise, nice job.

This car is Mike Lopez's Probe GT...he's a regular over at www.probetalk.com.

IMO his car is one of the nicest show cars in the probe community, you can see more over at probetalk.

As far as performance goes, he has a ton of bolt ons, and a dry nitrous set-up, however, I don't think its often used....could be wrong.

As far as performance goes elsewhere in the probe/mx-6 community, I think our numbers might surprise some of you....come on over and check them out if you wish. We have 12 second Probe GT's that are on the spray, a good number of turbocharged 2nd gens are popping up lately, and there are a bunch of 13 second PGTs/MX-6s as well as 14 second naturally aspirated kl03s and klzes floating around.:thumbsup:

The probe and MX-6 are also excellent handling cars straight from the factory.

Unfortunately there are a ton of probes out there that haven't been taken care of properly, so a lot of people get a bad impressoin before even giving the car a chance....I'm not here to defend the probe/mx-6 community, or to bash any of your cars, I'm simply here to inform because I'm a car enthusiast also :)
