SVT Focus
-
mine is bone stock i was think of putting a CAI and AFC in it when the warrenty goes up which is a year from now, but yeah its a 03 red, have the traction control, heated seats and mirrors, audiophile 9006, typical SVT. Did you see that saleen focus up at luther by fleet farm, it ZX3 that is modded up, has the 2.3 and it comes factory with a 75 shot kinda wondering why they didn't do that to the SVT would have made more sense. i was thinkin eventually going with a turbo, i was look online when i first bought it and they want 4500 for a SC for the SVT, and the turbo kit was only 2500-3000. your supposed to gain i think 100 whp with the SC though.

There is only 1 good turbo kit made for the SVT and thats from focus-power.com and its $5800 with tuning and everything. 240whp off 9psi on pump gas. The Vortec gets you to 240whp for around $4000 and thats without tuning. Get a diablo predator or the SCT tuner once its out for our cars and you can see close to 260+whp for another $500-$700 or take it to a dyno and have it tuned.
The Saleen N20 focus is a joke... $25,000 for a yellow riced out focus with a HUGE wing. It has the crappy regular focus interior with some momo seats up front... the 5-speed... small stock front disk breaks and rear drums... thats crap. Sure its putting out 150 some hp and 150 some tq but the nitrous set up is crap. The nitrous is a 75hp wet shot thats set up like an intercooler shot but its shooting into an aluminum radiator. I wouldnt pay even what I paid brand new for my SVT which was $17,500.
The Roush is a joke too $27,000 for an insanely riced out focus with even less power then the Saleen.
The SVT "was" the best focus for the money and the dumb assholes at ford decided to pull the plug on it. But their allowing crap like the Roush and Saleen focus' to be built and a much larger price tag put on them? Idiots!
-
i haven't seen the Roush. but yeah i agree with the saleen me and my roomates were talkin about that all it is is a zx3 with a 75 shot to it with bunch look good parts on it, i don't know why they didn't it to the SVT at least would have a getrag and all around disks
-

-

so the nos is just for show? what fun is having it when you cant use it? thats fucking lame.That's Saleen.
They seem to put out a lot of uglified mediocre lightly modified overpriced cars.
Although I did hear that their newest mustang is supercharged and pushing something around 500rwhp....

the NOS is fully run just missing the relays + switch, and yes it voids the warrenty when it gets hooked up (that makes sense)
It's not just a "pretty focus".
The NOS is one thing, but what a lot of people don't know is all the suspension work saleen did to the car. It's a lot of fun to drive so far.

I dunno man, I've been inside the SVT and IMO SVT>N20, The transmission and motor are so solid. Yes the looks of the saleen are great, but the SVT is not ugly by any means either. I'd much rather have a better platform to work on, then have a body kit stock.

unless you put a 351 in your focus...its gonna be slow..if you try making it fast..it will blow up.

I dont know where your getting your information from but you need to learn more about a car before you say stupid shit like that. SVT comes with forged rods and pistons stock.... not to mention oil squirters. There wasnt much left un touched on the SVT focus.
Peace!

Flowcus and I would come out and cruise with you, maybe Flowcus will, but the WRX is out of commision as I have lost my drivers license for a little bit :(, maybe I'll let him take it out one day though. Tonight is my reserved gaming night, going to pick up a new MMORPG called "city of hero's" I'll post a review on it tommorow.
