If you are referring to weight the the standard ZX5 and ZX3 are identiacal, same goes for interior and exterior dimensions. So I would presume the SVT ZX5 would be the same weight as the SVT ZX3. If however you mean the SVT Focus is slow in a straight line, 1/4 mile, then yes, but it needs more than 30 1996 Contour "Mean Green" (99-02) 2002 Malibu Blue Focus ZX5 - something to hold the PB 15...
