SVT Focus

You guys know anything about 'em. We just bought one for my sister and I have to admit I'm kind've impressed. It would be a nice little DD and track car. For a 4-banger, I was pretty impressed.

A wigger at work has one. He has front and rear wheels that don't match and he claims to "take Vipers off the line".

The were going to have them come with nitrous from the factory but if you used it, it voided the warranty.

They do come with nitrous. I was looking at a couple when they first came in. Nitrous in the trunk.

Get the fuck outta here.

Powertrains and Performance
The SVT's 2.0-liter power plant features upgraded connecting rods, lightweight pistons, a higher-compression ratio and a freer-flowing cylinder head. The intake camshaft timing is variable, which helps to improve low-end torque, and a dual-stage intake manifold helps to bolster high-end power. The result is 170 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 145 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm, with redline set at 7,200 rpm.

nitrous from the factory? blackSS01 what are you smoking?

cant see myself being impressed by any 4banger

The Saleen Focus came either in the S121 or the N20, which was nitrous ready. All you needed was the bottle, and you had a 75 shot of juice, but it would void the warranty.

My ma used to work at a car dealership.

Thank you.

Hmmm, who knows more. I think I do. My buddy use to work at a dealership when they just arrived he called me and thought I would be interested. Looked as they came off the trunk, NOS tank and all in the trunk. So unless I found 3 super rare cars, then i believe I am right. This was some time ago, but they had a bottle and the sticker said SVT. Other then what I saw with my own two eyes, I don't know much about the car, 6 speed, 4 banger.

A few guys around my town have them. There seems to be a very escalated attitude that comes with them. My T/A has recieved a lot of "that ain't shit" stares from the drivers of these things. I've never driven one myself though.

Just ask them to race, they'll shut up. The wigger at work I mentioned talks shit ALL DAY about he "takes Vipers off the line", evades the cops at 150 mph nightly, etc. But when I ask him to race, he declines (he has heard from other people that I've run 12s). But then later on, he'll start talking shit about for 1300 he knows a place that'll put a "cobra block" in his car and then he'll race me because "that is an unbeatable combo, yo".
