mustang mark-the focus engine that is the 2.0l zetec has 130hp 135tq the 2.3l has 148hp 152tq and the 2.0l sohc has 110hp 125tq now the svt focus has a beefed up version of the 2.0l zetec that has forged connectiing rods, high compression pistons, i think a few other things, and must run premium fuel and has 170hp 145tq. it seems low but the car also only weighs 2750 and has an amazingly smooth 6 speed manual getrag gearbox that is also shared in the mini cooper s. the car will burn all the way through first and chirp into 2nd with no problem when you pop the clutch. if your just taking off easy and then punch it once your at about 3000rpm it will push you into the seat and chirp into 2nd as well. its a great car and handles amazing to be a fwd. my stang was lowered and i believe the focus can still handle just as well on the svt suspension.
onyxcobra-it is a blast to drive for sure plus the 6 speed is close ratio so its fun to shift through the gears. it handles amazing. once i get my euro stuff in the mail this friday then im going to save to go ahead and take car of the timing belt and tires, then slap a bigger sway bar on the rear since its already got a big one on the front from svt, then it will be time to save for some boost. i want to drop the procharger in it but i just love the little bells and whistles of a turbo the wastegate flutter, bov pshhh and the turbo spool lol they all sound amazing. i cant decide which one i want so turbo or blower is still a debate. the euro stuff i ordered was a euro grille and euro corners. later on im going to add the custom euro tag up front that will say 04 svt
