There is a local guy here that built a 351W RWD Focus about 2 years ago. He sold it last summer. It was a low 12 car N/A on a bery mild 351W.

If u really think a focus with a 5.0 is tight, refocus aiight. The thing that makes a mustang 5.0 so special is th combo of the looks and the power. Focuses are ugly as hell.

well it's all about personal opinion on the looks part... don't get me wrong i prefer the looks of a mustang to a focus, but i do think the focus is a nice car, that's why i bought one as a DD

but the focus RS8 is lighter, faster and handles better than a stang, even better than a cobra.

its the sleeper effect that gives it its greatness, and the fact that its an american made auto makes it cooler too. plus it just runs like hell and sounds good too.
