I should sell it, and get myself back into a problem prone, opti-spark powered LT1 again, just so I can be "one of the guys" on this board. Yeah, sounds like a great idea.

I'd expect the same if I went over to Stangnet.com and had a sig that clearly showed I drive a Camaro, not a Mustang!
All I have to say though, is that the "fun" part of an F-body is the speed/power.....so a car with !power cannot be fun IMO!
(and don't argue the handling, 'cause my first car was a VW that out-handled anything I've ever driven before, but it still wasn't fun!
).

however, a ford focus is not one of them.
im not a ford hater.
or a import hater.
or anything like that.
if you beat on ANY car, its fun.....but a SVT focus? its not really great in any one area... its just "eh" all over. any V6 FWD car is about the same as that.

no ****.
like i said.
any V6 FWD car is about the same as that.
a maxed out high strung N/A (or even stock boosted) 4cyl usually equals roughly the same performance as the V6 model...... somthing alot of sport compact guys know, but they go for the 4banger anyway... i never got that... lol.
as for why you're here.... i dont care... welcome. lol
this is the unofficial LT1 board anyway.. all the LS1 jocks are at LS1/LS2.com.. most of the thirdgenners are at thirdgen.org or local boards, and the earlier guys are usually at classic hotrod boards.... leaving this mostly to LT1 guys..... and i dont have a LT1 lol.

The truth is I admire different aspects of all american cars (and some imports if I try hard). Besides, I myself am also guily of lurking around other-car forums...

Re: "!air" "!egr" What mean this?
obviously you have a problem comprehending what im saying.
1. your car is not turbocharged. your cars performance, at best, is on par with a V6
2. thats why it says stock boosted and not turbocharged... im not ignorant. im fully aware that it doesnt take much more then some fuel management tweeking to have a kickass fast turbo car. when stock, the performance of say, that SRT4 is about the same as my VR6 VW..... except mine looked better.. lol.
personally, ive been looking at the turbo omnis lately... id like to get a Ty/Sy truck, but they're out of my price range... i figure i can get some reasonable fun out of a omni cheap if i manage to find one. they usually dont sell for that much..
but im going off on a tanget.
nutshell:
dont get pissy when we pee on your focus, im sure you can find somthing its good at.
