I talked to someone who worked at svt about this and I forget when he said but i'm pretty sure he said they were going to fit the focus with a tubocharged mazda motor to compete with the srt-4 neon and it would put out about 250 horsepower!

Hmm....a car with 9 or more FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALLS. Makes me wanna go out and buy one.

O crap!! I never knew that. What were they for safety reasons.

well we can nitpick about how practically every other saturn is a lemon if you want</P>

Besides the recalls a 250 horsepower focus would smoke the wrx and srt-4 unless they got even more horsepower also. Ya it isnt a competition thing anymore like in the 60s but dammit it should be! Ya know like the</P>

Anybody ever heard of the Focus RS? This is the top of the line Euro model, and it has been around for years. It has 300 HP and AWD. It kicks all kinds of sh*t on the World Rally Championship. Those rally guys are nucking futs. Curvy ass dirt roads at 100+mph. Sounds fun. If you guys havent ever seen it it is usually on speed channel. I havent seen it is a while cuz I dont have cable anymore<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"> <edited><editID>Glengemen</editID><editDate>37988.0581365741</editDate></edited>

Holy s**t!! I actually like that.

You validate that and we'll debate it. Since you have no proof and most people neglect maintnence and abuse the s**t out of it and then blame the car and it's manufacturer, I'm not going to waste my time on something you're not even close to right on.

That Foucs above isnt the RS, thats the Cosworth Concept. The RS is for sale in Europe with 212 HP, FWDand its faster than a WRX for 20,000 pounds &lt;- howerever much that translates to <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">
