SniperX, is that a new Focus SVT? My neighbor just traded in his 2011 ram for one. I have yet to get to ride in it, but I've heard they are mean.

If that Focus is yours, props from me.
Those little cars were mean when you cranked them up.

K&N in stock Airbox, Borla "Race" exhaust, Ford Racing Suspension w Koni Adjustable shocks and struts, and tuner specific to my mods. At some point I might do the Jackson Racing Supercharger kit when I find a reasonable deal on one. I also want to do more suspension goods like upper and lower strut bars, all Poly bushes, and aftermarket stout trans and motor mounts.

Not at all. Ford has that down pretty well. Of course when I pull 270frhp out of it that will be a different animal! Right now, with a measly 170 it doesn't noticeably tq steer at all.

It is my dd commuter. I live 25+ miles from my work, up in the mtns on a little ranch so needed something fun and eco to drive to and from work when the weather didn't permit riding my MC. I found it cheap with very low mileage and sold one of my bikes to buy it outright. It's a 2004, and had 50K on it when I bought it for $4000.00. So I got a screaming deal. Had it almost a year now. When I bought it I bought a warranty from the same people I had my warranty for my SHO and my Trooper thru. They gave me a killer deal too, 60K miles or 60months for $1100.00 full coverage + which means ANYTHING that happens that isn't the clutch or brakes is covered and it is a $50.00 deductible. Its great having the warranty but it would be voided if I did the SC or a Turbo during it so I am waiting till I find a deal on either kit and will hold onto it til the warranty runs out.
