What are your opinions on this car? I think its a cool little machie

 

I'm not a fan of any ford car. The only ford vehicle I'd buy would be a truck, and thats if they stopped making the Cummins Turbo Diesel Rams.

That focus is extremely slow for the price they're asking for it. Its almost embarassing that theyd consider calling it a Saleen. I mean come on 152bhp and 155lb-feet? Kind of sad really. Its got a gargantuan wing on the top of the hatch that has really no bearing of usefulness on the car whatsoever.

Rear drum brakes and no ABS as a standard option? Thats pretty ghey too.

Some other specs....it runs a 15.8 second quarter mile at 87 mph. Scoots from 0-60 (if you can even call it scooting) in 7.4 seconds....yeahhhh nuff said on that one. Even using nitrous its slow. Running a 14.0/96mph quarter and a 5.8 second 0-60. STILL not impressive AT ALL for having nitrous and the price tag that it has.

Youd be better off buying a base model Focus Hatch and turboing it with the extra cash, itd be a helluva lot faster.

And for a base price of 24,399....I think I can definitely find a better way to spent close to 30,000 dollars.

Again sad that its called a Saleen. And its nowhere NEAR a match for the SRT-4.

 

Just found this, had to add it in. Quoted from Saleen's website. If anything what I marked in bold best describes the SRT-4, not that matchbox car.

 

wow, so sad yet humongously (sp?) funny that yet another ford car has been f'ed over more than it already is

 

but have you guys seen the focus 351r i belive its called? RWD with a V8.. lots of fun and it runs 11's

 

I heard that once you hook the n2o system up, it then void all warranties on the engine. So basically if you puchase that car and want warranites you might as well just buy the SVT, b/c you will just be drive a 152 Hp Focus with a n2o system that is not even being used. Still even if the n20 system is hooked up the SRT-4 will smoke that FORDs @$$. That car gets a big ol' thumbs down from me.

 

it also gets a thumbs down from me, mostly thanks to its stratus-like performance numbers...they want to target the SRT4s when they struggle to stay abreast of my RT?

 

So true, they should call it the Focus POS.

 

the letters POS go with any ford lol

 

After working in the Detroit automotive scene for the last 20 years, and having owned vehicles from each of the big 3, I can say Ford is unequivocally the best quality vehicle for the money. Don't tell me about your counsins' friend who's grandma had the tranny fall out of her '93 Taurus. Any company can produce a lemon, especially after a 40 oz. lunch and a doobie on a Friday afternoon.
Also, just because you own a Dodge or a Subaru or a freakin' Lancia for cryin out loud, doesn't mean that your car is better of worse that any other. Just the other day I was cruising around during lunch (looking for a race) and got my *** handed to me by a Passat. Don't start on the "you don't know how to drive ****" I was flogging Dodge turbos while some of you were still, no doubt, eating month old Cheerios off of the kitchen floor. The point is, I wish the guy would have stopped, it would have been cool to see what he had done to put together such a nice running car, and certainly learn something in the process.
So, some of you please grow up and open your eyes. There's always someone faster, smarter and more experienced.
