Hey ladies and gents, just wanting to check into the car portion of this website, even though I may be more of a regular in the Cycle corner. Anyway, I got an 02 Focus HB with mild mods to it as well as the bike(s). I have heard about Focus groups or whatever out here but I am more interested in going on drive through Pungo then hanging out in a parking lot and dragging through the streets. Well post up!

You're going to need this:

 

To extinguish the car or the flaming?

 

i guess the velocitation from the r6 gives you the impression that the focus should be fast???

well hate to break it to you but sadly this is not the case.

gl w/ the dragging through the streets.

 

Yes.

 

In the dickpuppets defense, focuses are just as fast as civics and 240's... dog ass slow. They also have rare models that are very fast, just like civics and 240's. They also have bolt on's and turbo kits that make people with slow cars feel faster, just like civic's and 240's. They are pretty ugly though, that I won't deny.

 

Can you name anyone in the area with a 10 or 11 sec Focus?

 

If its got the 351W swap, then yes. Otherwise, the cars are turds and will alsways be turds.

I found some pics of this guys car. You're right Tim, he does need the extinguisher, its hot like fiyah.

 

Yeah actually I can, although I can't provide the proof you desire. Mine was pretty fast and I beat plenty of 12 sec cars. There's a guy in carolina with a 10 sec turbo focus.

I'm not gonna look for proof all day, but you of all people should know that any car can be made fast. I can make a 9 sec kia sephia if I had the money.

 

And keep in mind, for the most part these are the motors that are orignially purchased with the car. Not like 99% of fast civics and 240's that have swapped motors from other models.
