Okay, we have the meguiar's focus, which isn't a focus aside from the stickers on the front that resemble the focus' headlights. There are the WRC cars, again, none of us owns one. There is a wagon hitting 8s with the engine turned sideways and turbo'd to hell, so it's not really a focus anymore. You have Tom's Turbo Focus, which is hitting 12s in the 1/4 with so much tuning and cash into it it's insane. You have the Terminator Cobra Focus, once again, it's not really a Focus anymore. Same goes for the rest of the V8s.
They will stomp a CSVT... but mine won't, neither will 95% of the Foci on the road, including the FSVTs. They are low speed tight course cars, they can outhandle the CSVT. The CSVT has a huge power advantage, and the weight penalty is much less than many think, fully loaded FSVTs aren't light by any means.
Credit where credit is due.
It stickered at $26,400 (no I didn't pay that much) I found a trashed WRX at SGI salvage for $18K
