this should be a sticky for all the noobs to get all the info in one place! :lol1:
^^^^^agree
All the reviews seem to call the 2013 car "tame" but amazing. With way over 600+ hp, I don't get how this car could be called tame. Lol
I think they are calling it that because they honestly went in with the expectation of a car that was difficult to handle and would make you work to keep control...personally I think its a positive despite what they say :shrug:
^ +1
One of my biggest worries in the beginning was that 650+ HP car would be too much for a DD. Sounds like the SVT guys did a great job making this a very drivable car.
My car is more powerful than the 2013 in stock configuration and improvements have been made to upgrade what Ford should have done.
Daily driving a car like this, you'd honestly not expect it to be so "tame" at part throttle. I'm here to tell you, when driving normal, you don't know all the power is on tap waiting to be released. It drives so normal, it's unreal.
When I go to car meets, my exhaust is average. Nothing outrageous....nothing obnoxious like the LSx owners with their loppy cams. They think my car is slow. After they race me, they can't believe it. When I take them for a ride, they comment how the car feels, looks, drives stock until I go WOT.
A friend told his friend, while looking at my car, that my car was faster than his. His friend not knowing my car said, "This thing? It's stock, how can it be faster than your car?" :lol1:

True about UB's statement. My car drives very normal until I hit the vertical pedal on the right. Then the Corsa's boom out and people take notice. Though I am still waiting to Dyno, I am pretty sure I am making the same power A 13 puts down. If not, its dam close. Makes for a fun drive to work 
Today I was on the TP when I came up behind a school bus full of kids. The look on their faces were priceless. So I hung there for a bit, got over on the clear side, and accelerated just enough for the exhaust to sound off. I could see them in window pointing and going Ooo Ahhh Puts a smile on my face.
Our cars are great cars to drive. It seems Ford just made the 13 extra fun out of the box, modding optional.
