For those of you who get Motor Trend, they just did a cover story comparing the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Ford Focus RS8. It has a "Cammer" V8 in it. which is the DOHC 5.0L and it is not s/c. and they did transform it to RWD and it's going through a 5-spd tranny. it runs a sick 1/4 mile time of 12.7@113.7mph and a skidpad rating of .99g. All around it sounds like a pretty nice focus for $31k(for the european rs model) and $105k for the one motor trend tested. newho, if u want to read the whole article, go and buy the motor trend for august 2004. really interesting article. and if they can cram a 5.0L V8 in a focus, than why can't we cram one in our contours?
