All saleen was trying to do with that focus was make it appeal to the fast and furious type crowd, they were only trying to make it nitrous ready, without any real hp in mind
and by doing so drive the cost down so the common man could afford it, it looks nice but its too weak

There is a silver one at the dealership down the street from me. I think they're trying to get around 25-26K for it.

That exact car and dealership is about 10 minutes from me. They have had the car there for quite some time now. Someone actually made a post about it saying they saw it while they were having their car serviced. Looks sweet in person, but I agree about taking an SVT over that.

I've seen a couple of them driving around. Subtle body kit on it, I can't tell if I like it or not though. I don't think they're any faster, are they?

They are pretty much suspension/wheels/body kit. I believe We are offering a turbocharger, but we dont install them

Oh, my mistake but lets be realistic here. I wouldnt buy it with that kind of low HP on it. Yes, it has Nitrous that makes it faster but nothing more than what we can also add in our contours as well.
