They didnt put boost in the Focus (which was part of the original concept) because it would have outrun the Cobra by a mile (estimated close to 300hp) on the track when combined with the handling charecteristics of the car. How you would you feel owning a cobra getting outrun by a focus that cost $20k less.NOS2Go4Me,Feb 9 2006, 08:44 AM Wrote:A good point was raised about the fact the SVT Focus was the only SVT vehicle in recent memory to NOT get forced induction......

How quickly you forget the 2001 Cobra, produced ONLY 1 year before the 2002 SVTF, which did not get forced induction either.
