A little car like that with 295whp and 302ft-lbs and that thing is going to be a rocket.
What do you guys think this thing would run?

Wow the front end seems rather EVO-esque to me.

True but I would say it looks much better then an EVO.

This thing is FWD so launching will be a problem but I could see it trapping around 104 stock.

An all wheel drive SVT focus if priced cheaper than the EVO would do it for me.

I could see it running low 13s around 106. I really like the translucent lime green paint on the focus. I must be a little gay.

My bad I may have exaggerated a bit...read it a few weeks back on bmc forums:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...RS-review.html

"This is the twenty-second Ford model to wear RS (Rallye Sport) badges, first attached to the original Escort RS1600 in 1970. The quickest RS, it is also in many senses the quickest road-going Ford of all time. While the GT (based visually on the racing GT40) is faster along the straights, the new Focus RS beats it around the most demanding handling track at Ford's Lommel test centre in Belgium – and certainly in the real world, wherever that might be these days.
