Get it. My "cute" car can show any normally aspirated SVT Contour and 99% of the FI Contours in here its tailights with only $287 dollars worth of mods.
How fast is that thing Bill..couple of the 2.5L N/A SVTs are in the 14.5-14.7 range. I assume if you are faster it is because
1) You gutted the box
2) You are a very good drag racer.

I think under most circumstances the Focus will be slower, it is at a considerable stock power to weight disadvantage in either ZX3 or SVT form. The vast aftermarket can compensate but not without considerable expense.

To summerize, the car is ugly and slow, but handles well. And it DOES look better than its rivals the Civic and Sentra. So, I give it one thumbs up.
