Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Wow, that thing is a whole lot of insanity. That's about the only focus I'd ever wanna drive.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
I know there is a company out there somewhere that sells a kit to put a V8 and rear axle out of a Mustang into a Focus. The Focus SVT is an awesome car, but that makes it just wrong, haha.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Honesty still wouldnt drive it if it looked like that. The whole ricer exterior ruins all that beauty under the hood.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Agreed, it's a ricer that wants the power of a v8, but no the looks of one.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
I'd rock it. Ricer exterior and all, in fact, Id put on underbody neons and vinyls everywhere. Then when the anti-rice fools laugh at me I can take even more pride in emasculating them and their "Im making up for something" muscle cars.
Ahhhhh.... reminds me of the Pink laser with rainbow flames idea days, eh josh?

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Oh snap this reminds me of a car mag i read about a v8 focus. They lapped it on the track and compared it against a Ferrari. If I remember correctly the Ferrari got embarrassed in all the comparisons.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Yeah it does, you could always practice on the stealth, if it has that paint job NO one will buy it than. :-D
But i try to keep looks on a car as stock as possible, go sleeper on the car. Reminds me of the ultimate sleeper i saw a while back. Guy had an old beat up dautsun, rusty body no paint on half of it and only thing visible it had any work on it was when it was running(DP straight off turbo to ground) and the larger wheels and FMIC painted black. I needed some time alone after that.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
Nice! And to those screaming ricer, what numbers are you putting down? Different strokes for different folks. It'd be different if it just had a fart can, but he's got some power to back it up with, so he gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
I saw one of those in Hot Rod a few years back, no turbos though. I wouldn't mind building one of those, the sound alone would make it all worth it. I'd probably have to go SBC though, Ford sucks.

Re: Fast Focus, WHAT!?!?
It is well put together, and makes decent power, but I highly doubt it will break out of 12s. Not nearly enough tire for 650+rwhp.
