Those are GREAT numbers! That car must be AWESOME to drive!!
I just think people need to get out into different cars more often. I guarantee you wouldn't notice for even 1 second that this car "only" has 200ft. lbs of torque, it would still be a MONTER to drive.
You can't just look at a dyno sheet and say "meh, where's the torque, that would suck to drive a car like that" lol Because that's false.
And a 1.8T? The motor is good when you have a bigger turbo on there, but not too sure about the platform it's in. :ph34r:
All in all, I think a SVTF with that setup would be SICK!

bitch ;)
I like the easy upgrade path with a 1.8T...ECU upgrade alone = nice gains. Suspension...needs some work...but as a package, it's a nice car! Still...for a few more $$$, you're in WRX territory...hard to pass that up.
I definitely agree it's kind of pointless to look at a dyno and decide on how good a car would be to drive though, lol. I'm sure that Focus is a blast to drive...
so...I'm admittedly ignorant here...that dyno has mph on the bottom...at what rpms does that 200lbs/ft of torque hit?
