No Jason the throttle did not stick on me
1st impression,, wow TORQUE!!! no bog nuthin'.
2nd impression.. (CR@P I F*CKED up that turn now I'm going to .. wait.. hold on.. stay in the turn???)
3rd impression.. D@MN this thing is fast.
4th impression.. wow this thing is solid.
It's a great car, if your buying a compact car and you buy anything else.. your an idiot.
Ohh and that heat sheild has to come off, polished headers from the factory. 4 to 2 to 1. They are beautiful to look at.
.91 G's on the skidpad guys. The car is incredibly stable. This car will make a bad driver good. You can screw up a turn like nobodies business and it will still hang in there. Unfortunately the group I was in, we didn't get to really run it through it's paces. One set of drivers couldn't seem to figure out that there is more to life than drag racing.
Stereo Kicks @SS btw. Factory installed 8" Sub.
EDIT Massive brakes, 12" up front and 11" in the back. Stopping distance from 60mph. 116 feet. Ohh boy does it stop too. It's one hell of a car and worth much more than what Ford is charging for it.

I drove it too and if I was in the market for buying a new car SVT Focus for sure. Just cant afford it. Love my SVT Contour too but they are different yet they are similar. Either way Focus is going to be a big hit.
Hey Dave, you forgot to tell them what else you drove. Hmmm 2003 Cobra and the Corvette and oh yah the lightning of course. Whohoo. What good SVT owner wouldn't drive all the SVT's available to them.

I saved the Cobra for the mustang guys over on Stangnet.
This crowd seems to be more interested in the Focus than the Cobra.

I got to drive the Focus SVT as soon as it got off the truck.
This little car is quick, and turn in is solid, barely any body roll.
I agree with everything that Dave A. says on this one.
Haven't gotten to drive the Cobra yet :-(
