A zetec?..pfftt!

This is a Focus ST mark 2..read the top :P

ST is the tuned Focus model.

and its a 2.5 Engine..no cams or other engine rebuild parts have been developed yet, however Rick Woods Motorsport is meant to be developing Cams and Polished heads..which should give it about 50 BHP more

Speaking of which..we should be in Fast Ford shortly

Btw have you see some of stuff Roush Racing puts out cause they supply the body kits and wheels and some suspension to the Rally teams if I'm correct but I want one of those Focus' too bad in the states they have the crap ones ohh well I'm most likely to go in with my dad in 2 or so years and buy a Stage 3 Roush Mustang 427BHP (supercharged,full body kit,breaks,suspension,wheels) should add another $18,000 to the $28,000 price tag

How can it be a Saleen and a Roush Stage 3?

Roush is a performance package and body mod
Saleen is a performance package and a body mod

IMPOSSIBLE unless I'm wrong.

In all honesty I think I'm correct just because Saleen also makes performance Mustangs as do Roush so unless he heard it wrong he is owned

Roush Mustangs cost £47,000 over here, we spend a lot on cars but not enough to justify £50k.

besides, we could drive most of these sports cars when we want, it pays for who you know.

The only real tuning parts for the Focus are made by Wolf Tuning, Dreamscience, Demon Tweeks, Superchips and Graham Goode Racing.

All are quality parts but each company just seems to make copies of the other, like theres about 4 different companies selling Cold Air Induction kits that are exactly the same.

We cant really go much further with ours due to the Front Wheel drivetrain, as obviously the more power you put through the more strain on that. Anymore than 300 and your looking at Clutch and Drivetrain issues.

next car should be about 600-700 BHP, go austrailian Imports

Yeah I RWD Focus would be awesome! The Roush though is awesome I really want one but if I had more money I'd upgrade the engine to a 427 or so

You could import one, ive seen 4-5 for sale..cheapest was about £16k, and that was quite a nice one, you get some for like £22k though..and then youve got all importing and stuff..would be a sweet motor to have in the states..cuz they do everything, corner, straight lines..theres even some RWD ones.

Yeah I really am in love with the European cars but the importing would kill be shipping it over is no problem

Cars like the Renault Clio,Focus, and some other smaller cars that are really nice tunners would be awesome here but in the states it has to be bigger
