If the SVTF is to slow for you, don?t buy it. I happen to think that the power is fine, but then I?m coming from a V6/ATX Contour. Like the Contour, I don?t think that SVT?s intent with the Focus was to make a 1/4 mile monster but instead to make an all around great enthusiast car. And IMO SVT did a great job. What was the MSRP on the SVTC? What is the MSRP of the SVTF? Does the power difference reflect in the price? Would people be flocking to the SVTF if it had 205HP but priced at 23K? It is a Focus after all, and the story might be different if all-wheel drive was thrown into the equation. Bottom line, the SVT Focus is a great car, and a totally different car than the Contour.
