Cool pics man. There only one thing about the Focus Svt i dont like and thats its exhaust note. sounds way to Ricey for me. Saw it on Car& driver Tv. Other wise looks good. I love the seats BTW.

i'm really unimpressed by the svt focus
it barely looks different then the normal zx3 aside from the wheels, and i really dont care for the zx3..

I've grown to like the look of the ZX3 and SVT Focus and the fact that they have well over a dozen body kits to make the car look a hellava lot better than stock increases the appeal to me. so does the turbo

Well, the way I'm optioning the ZX5 (loaded minus the craptory "premium" stereo) it will be around $22000 but I know the SVT will have a premium over sticker... so I think I can live without it. That and the fact that I want four doors and can't get it with the SVT... I think I may nix the $1000 sunroof too, free up some mod money...
