what is the diff between a regular everyday focus and the svt focus besides the 6 speed transmission... what kind of transmission is in the focus?


just wondering cause my friends getting a svt focus... thankkks

 

"Mechanically, the car featured a thoroughly reworked version of the 2.0 liter Zetec engine available in other Focus models. Developed by Cosworth this engine featured many advanced technologies. Included were a special aluminum cylinder head with enlarged intake ports, heavy duty pistons and connecting rods, piston oil squirters, variable camshaft timing, dual stage intake manifold, and a 4-2-1 tubular exhaust header. These additions coupled with an increased 10.2:1 compression ratio bumped horsepower from 130 to 170"

The tranny is the same one as in the Mini Cooper S

 

let me see better engine internals, brakes, suspention, better interior, better looking front bumper, wheels. to sum it uppretty much an all around better car.

 

'developed by cosworth'
End of story.

 

hmm. what kinda power can you get out of that without blowing **** up? how much hp could u get with full bolt ons? what are bolt ons for a svt focus? haha

 

My next car will be an SVT focus, just because it still has some what of a sporty feel, still a domestic (Although many will disagree) and gets good Gas Milage!

 

i have an 03 and they're not that great. It hadles impressively but that's about it. I think they can hadle something like 300-350rwhp before blowing up. It's not a bad car, it's fun to drive around and gets decent gas mileage. Not the best platform for a straight line.

 

haha oh yeah? thats cool man.. they do get good gas miledge...can you make those things fast N/A?????

 

dang. being able to hold 300 350 rwhp stock internals isnt bad at all for a 4 cly!

 

I'm not much into performance on it since it's my daily driver, but I've seen blown svt foci in the low 13s. I'm guessing a bolt on focus would see mid low 14s (don't quote me on that). It's perfect for a DD. I get 30 mpg on the highway, i guess that's good compared to stangs.
