Title: Ford Focus SVT ??
Post by Pass Tense on May 12^th, 2013 at 1:13pm

Has there been any of these at the track? I don't see much talk about them, and was wondering if this would be competitive? 2.0L so I'm guessing IP2?

HP - 170 @ 7000 rpm
TQ - 145 ft. lb. @ 5500 rpm
2750 curb weight

I'm not sure on reliability..parts availability and so one.

Thanks in advance for your insight! :)

looks a little heavy, and not the best HP compared to the Hondas and Acuras, but Im sure it would be a fun car if you can find the rite parts for it. I know fords are not known for good brakes.

The rite Brakes , Tires , and Suspension make a big difference
