I think its was zx3_2nv who posted this video before.
Sure is a sweet car....too bad only 7 were built otherwise it be on my list to own.

Did he really say that he's still running the same oil in the engine?

He should really take those silencers off too :)

Damn video restrictions. Is that the Festiva with the SHO motor in the back seat? I had a magazine article on that car back in the day. Very cool car. Talk about a fun little car.

LOL - no, he said the engine was bullet-proof and all he's ever done was oil changes - still running on the original plugs though.

I was just checking out the photo's. I would trade the Focus for this little car in a heartbeat. The wife probably wouldn't appreciate it though. LOL

motor must be pretty bulletproof to handle that 175 shot.
Little bit of show, little bit of go.
