Also at Bonnell today i saw 4 FSVT's/
one of every color.
one of them already had some major problems.
the salesman said he started it this morning to move it and it was making some funy noises and barely ran.
after some close inspection they found out that it blew the intake!
he said there was a quarter sized hole in the intake.
apparently it was a recall on the car!!

Fall River Ford already has a few of them. They had a black one on display at a carnival in New Bedford. It didn't catch my attentio as much as thew brand new Mini, red with white racing strips, sitting next to it.

I predict this car will have as many if not more problems than the SVT Contour - they like to build performance cars '3/4 of the way', skimping out on building a world-class base car, and then trying to push the limits of what the car's powertrain, etc. can handle. Too bad too because the pocket rocket market is so hot. I'd like to go for a test drive in a Mini Cooper S though...

It was a few weekends ago the Portugese Festival downtown. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it?!

There was a RED SVT Focus at Crazy Horse today.
Put down 150 Horses at the wheels.

I looked at the Blue one this weekend. I love the color, but it is just another Foci!

I think Ford needs to offer 4 wheel drive and a turbo like the Focus has in WRC form to have it meet better to the WRX. I think people would jump on a car like that, but we know Ford will never do something good like that :rolleyes:
