In the past, there has been an SVT focus, I saw it on the SVT website. I'm not sure about this year though. _____________________________ 2000 v6 Mustang PROUD 'Stang chick!

RE: New Focus??? - 10/16/2004 7:53:36 AM    Colvindesign   Posts: 58 Joined: 9/7/2004 Status: offline I think they should build a Cosworth Focus over here. It's been reported that the new (Europe only) one is going to be AWD and over 225hp. And it's rumored to have closer to 300 hp, with WRC body styling. But they are probably remembering the huge failure that the Merkurs were when they brought those over here. Even though those were just too weak, nice cars but needed more balls. But then again the new Focus Chassis in Europe is not coming over here. The US is just going to get a facelifted old one. Too bad Ford execs don't look at the large success of the WRX and EVO and put 2 and 2 together. Maybe it was a bad idea in the 80s when power levels were not high enough, but now that is not a problem. (in reply to xRockThePonyx) Post #: 15

As an N/A 6 speed with 170hp...it did'nt stand a chance against an SRT-4! _____________________________ Back from the Sandbox! (in reply to xRockThePonyx) Post #: 16
