Much love to a supercharged focus!

It was close... way closer than my comfort. I could hear a supercharger out of the focus over the exhaust (definately not my taste... too "farty") running against my stage 3 with two drag radials on steelies in the back seat and some extra jacking equipment in the car.

45-60ish start speed (on highway and he slowed down right before the 3rd beep) and I let him honk. at 120 I only have 2, 3 cars at best.

that was a fast ride, and the closest scare from a compact car ive had since summertime. makes me want to build a focus instead of the mustang...

.... nahhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

Nice kill. Let me know if you ever get more info on the car. I've considered getting an SVT focus for a dd.

I didnt know the SVT focus came supercharged? I thought it was an aftermarket. The SVT focus I remember was an N/A 170hp motor.

I'd get the focus if I got the GCSRT8. I saw a picture of a dash yesterday on autotrader and it showed a digital readout of the average gas mileage... 8.8 average miles per gallon

. I'd get rid of the ranger and the cobra if I decide to go that route. I already got a guy trying to sell me his SRT8 on the GC forum I've been reading.
