Welcome to Gaia! ::

A guy I know that works at the bank and the supermarket I work at has a 2004 SVT Focus 6 spd. biggrin I got to drive it and got the wheels spiiiiiiinning ha those cars are really fun to drive. They put a little over 200hp out the front wheels and has a really complex transmission. Its kind of a double clutch feature so it slides into gear with a twisting motion, but a great fast car.

Also another friend of mine used to have one that he raced at Watkins Glen a few times. He had his up to 160 on the thruway.. a cop pulled out and never even bothered chasing him as police cars around here govern out at 140.

Yeah it was, my friends father has one. Either way any new car is hard to work on because so much is computer based. My escort was amazingly simple to do the work on and my jeep has not changed from how they made them originally except the addition of obdII. I dont know about Chevy, but Ford is really coming around to laying some pure power down with some small engines and still getting great gas mileage. Look at the the SHO.. 365 hp in a 6 cyl motor!?? Thats amazing.
