*cry*
aren't you VIPERED on the org and JCO?? i loved your car!!! that's why you are selling your projectors right?
Sorry for the loss mang, hope the new focus works for you!

Ya. SVTF + JRSC and you will forget about the CAV :D still sucks thow when stuff like that happens.
I rather prefer a Focus over any of those high end cars...............ummmmm unless its a Lexus IS300 sitting in my "Dads" driveway LOL

sorry Jay i'd rather have my m3 sitting in a driveway over a focus.. maybe a C6 corvette or a R35.. mmmmm.... :P

167whp..... and looks to be auto to me ...
iono...

Your Cav was really nice, but these guys are right. You will not miss it one bit. I had 98 Z24 (shifting the 5spd felt like stiring a milkshake) and except for being a hair shorter on torque the SVTF blows the Cavy away!
From Gm To Ford (56k Warning) - Jays2000ZX3 - 12-22-2004
LOL! a FAST AUTOMATIC Z24!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
Sorry..
You will LOVE the SVT-F in comparison, Enjoy the car.

Yep you mad ethe right move. Congrats and welcome to our hell hole.

Very nice purchase, A lot of my friends can attest that I am not a big Ford fan, but the SVT Focus is just a sweet car :) Whats the V8 one called??? RS8 or something? Now that would be awesome too :)
Anyways, they are awesome cars with great potential, a lot more aftermarket support than the J-body you previously owned (I owned 4 of them, i know!). Very sweet Cavalier too however! And 167whp is totally possible with good intake, exhaust, headers, cams, and head work. I dont think the SVT out of the box will be as quick as your cav from what you said.... but.... garunteed you can make the SVT faster with less money.
Again, sweet car, congrats on the purchase.

WHA??? You would rather have a G35 over an M3.... over a C6.... over an R35.... all cars of which are more valuable (well maybe not an R35 anymore), more prestigious, and faster than a G35?????
Take the other ones, sell them, take the $25k profit... and drop it into the G35 :) Then you have my attention :)

Me too, nice G35 sedan now that they are AWD.
Good price too for all intents and purposes, same as a turbo Legacy in fact.
All those other cars will require too much care, feeding and insurance.

R35 = G35 only faster..

G35=car I could go down the street and buy and never have any issues with licensing, emmisions, insurance, would be new, would have a warranty, blah blah blah...............and I'm sure it is fast enough it's probably just a second or so off a WRX and that is plenty.

G35 + Greddy TT > R35
...not to mention the g35 would still be cheaper, faster and AVAILABLE IN CANADA
From Gm To Ford (56k Warning) - ZX3TUNR - 12-23-2004
w3rd :D
That Greddy TT kit is nice. As for an M3 im not a fan. Yes they look good and all but im not a fan of luxury. Only thing close to luxury I like it the IS300 and G35 and there not even really that.
I love 20-30g go-cart feeling cars and simple interiors. They may be slower but there are for sure hella lot more funner I think..
