here's a little more to boost your egos Meguiar?s amazing Ford Focus. Driven by Shawn Carlson, the vehicle stood out among the many Focus?s at the show. The vehicle sported a stretched front end, 850 horsepowers in the 4 cylinder, dual overhead CAM, 2.0L ZTEC engine. An engine that some say may be the fastest Focus ever made. At only 35 pounds and an ingenious carbon fiber tunnel, the car looks to finish in the 8?s at the time trials in Florida later on this week. The award was a definite sign that Ford Focus is becoming a domestic standout in the aftermarket import world. ------------------ '98 SilverFrost SVT#1037 of 6535 built Toadster's SVT Roundup MODS: KKM Intake, TH-Fix, Synthetic Oil, TBD....[This message has been edited by Toadster (edited October 16, 2000).]

I agree. I am totally happy with my 2.0. There isn't nothin' wrong with an inline 4. Plus, with the price of gas these days don't forget the mileage is better, or in my case, the Kilometerage?
