well Im gonna go against the grain and say I like the focus. Not as a performance car, but as a daily driver. I had one as a rental car for a few days and the thing rode great, had tons of legroom, was comfortable, and got great gas mileage. I think its a great work car.

Really.
What did you have done to run a 12.8?
I saw a turbo'd focus w/slicks run very low 13's and he was sponsered (read: $).

Aerocharger stage 3 and a bunch of bolt ons and built tranny. The post was misleading, my buddy ran a 12.8 and he couldnt pull away from me. I post pics but I would get laughed at.

Negative. I always did like your Focus but you were always **hush**hush** about what was under the hood. Post some pics up with engine bay shots.

I have one exterior shot, thats it. I ended up throwing a rod, parted most of it out, didnt have the kit on for to long. Shes been sitting a year now, I got a new motor to put in and selling it.

the focus looks so hot with some wheels and a drop. heres mine. I got 18in velox VX-8s, tinted windows-tails-and marker lights, Volant intake SVT seats (black on red), and some other minor stuff.



if you do get one we have a local club in hampton roads with about 15 members if you wanna join.
