Don't know if any of you have seen this yet. If not, Check this out....Who want's to build a super fast Focus...he he. Lists the parts in this article. Not bad, a Focus that can keep up to a Gallardo.

Lambo vs. Focus

[BonezGT]

Apparantly in the new magazine there is...they didn't have anything posted online though.

So for roughly 65K CDN you can have that...not too bad.

Why not buy a 2000 540i and throw on 25K of mods. ;)

It's a sweet package, but it's just too much money, 15KUS for the motor, and 6K US for the conversion kit? Not cool.

It's unique... and if I won the lottery, there's every chance I'd have it built to say I own it.

Thats just the stupid kit pricing though

I bet you if you got a stang donor car it would be SOOO much cheaper. You dont need a new factory crate engine ... stupid.

Look at the first kit.

What would I do without your linkage, oh wise one? B)

[Jays2000ZX3]

If they would have a RS200 kit......I'd buy it in a second!

But still, for like 700$ you go to a 3 day assembly course of one of these...SICK!

[ElementSR]

I would defintly do that if I was rich. I seriously would have like 50 car's if I was really loaded. I probly wouldnt even have time to drive them. I wouldnt work, I would fix up car's all day and drive at a race track. It would be the best life anyone could ask for. haha.

Hilarious way to lose my license! :ph34r:

[Kool_ZX3]

get a 2003 cobra donar car, take the engine, tranny, brakes, buy your suspension and take the cobra rear fab all the parts and brackets up, get your exhaust slap a kenne belle on the engine and a few things here and there fix it up and u got yourself a 600 hp focus :D

[FocusTunerzx3]

didnt ford racing do that for a 1/4mile focus.

[D-Dub]

So many of you make it sound so easy but if you want to do it right you need do have some brains. Slapin in that engine and making the car handle and go in a staight line is not that easy

[Burnin21]

Must buy Focus...lol. What a wild little car. That Focus must sound sweet. lol. That'd be weird if your some guy in your Ferrari and a Focus pulls up beside you revving its engine and the whole things shaking and sounding like a muslce car. If I was the guy in the Ferrari i'd Sh*t my pants. LOL.
