RE: V8 FOCUS
I knew 2000 was around somewhere, and when he finally shines around, shebang a bang!
There was an article in one of the car rags awhile ago sporting the V8 Focus Vrs. a Lambo. Of course the Lambo won, but the hocus Focus stuck right in there. And I don't think the Foci are ugly, they just are what they are. I have a 2005 4 door SES that I love. Great on gas, sits nice and high (for a sedan) but it is what it is. It's the replacement Escort. And it's a ton better than the Escort. I think Ford did a good job with the Focus.

why the hell would you buy an automatic Mach I?

Why the hell would you put an 03 cobra engine in an ugly pos focus?
You can swap a 4.6 03 cobra engine into a Focus. It's been done, and I believe certain companies make kits to convert it.
That was cold...

RE: V8 FOCUS
i think a company (can't remember the name) has been doing this since the 03 cobra came out... i saw an article on it mm&ff. it was at least a concept and i think it was called the Focus RS8. it was definitely rwd and had a price tag of 60K (if they would do it). definitely a sleeper... not for the money though
