I wouldnt mind having a new Focus with the Duratec 2.3 that comes in the Mazda 3's. In my opinion theres way more potential in those than the SVT's.

The SVT Focus was on the older ones. I'm talking about the newer Focuses, or should I say Foci. lol

I believe they made the SVT up until 04, then the new Duratec came out in 05 I believe.

focus...blah. I hate those things so bad. I have never seen a fast one. I think it would be a waste to, putting all that money into a focus to make it fast. Same amount you put in one of those to make it fast as you would a mustang, I bet you would get a 100 more hp out of the stang. No matter what you put into a focus...it's still a focus! lol

You must not have read about the Focus with a 32v v8, with S/C, basically the engine right out of the 03/04 Cobras. It was converted to rear wheel drive and everything, talk about a badass car. Over on the Focus forums there have been Focus' with just bolt on's runnin in the 14's in the 1/4 mile, which is pretty good for a Focus.

The only thing i would do to those focuses would be lowering them...they have a massive fendor gap. Makes them look so cheap. What am i saying they r cheap!
