Haha, nice! People seem to recognize an ST, I've been getting a lot of people wanting to play every since I got mine. Nobody would even look at me in either Camaro, or the GTO. But they are all over the Focus.
Watching those track vids you posted, man you're spinning like crazy in 2nd gear too. Violent wheel hop. Mine isn't nearly that bad, even with the tune. Here's a speedo vid of mine tuned 0-80 or so.
I was holding the camera and steering wheel in one hand, shifting with the other. So its not the best driving.

Before you let that car go, you really should tune it. I have an extra SCT tuner if you're interested. Steeda can send you their tune for $99 I believe. Or get the tune I have from Livernois.
You got me nervous about the track now, lol. I've ran a FWD before in the form of a pullied Cobalt. It went 13.6 at 106 on street tires, but it acted the same on the track or street...useless 1st gear.
