I don't doubt the existance of 10 or 11 sec Foci. I asked how many are in the area.

The reason I ask is because I can name several 240s and Civics that are in that range. I would daresay that these cars don't feel fast (as you stated), but actually are fast.

You mean to tell me that a BONE STOCK 2000 Focus ZX3 with a 2L motor put down 302 HP with just an intake?

Those are from the area. How many of these civics and 240's have the original motors? If we can factor in swaps I can bring up many focuses with 302's, 351's, and duratec swaps?

I call total bullshit on this. How does an intake add almost 200HP? There is no way in fuck a Focus is putting down 300hp with just an intake, hell, not even with a supercharger as the intake.

I just pulled that shit off a forum to try to show you some info since my integrity was questioned. And it's not an intake.

I can run down to Millennium and show you a couple KA-T's running 12's or below.

Where can I see these Foci? Especially the 300+ HP one with just an intake?

He's refering to a turbo kit, not an intake. It was a joke.

Even still, a Focus is not gaining almost 200hp more than stock from just putting a turbo on.

Research? C'mon. I can take you on a tour around the area of fast 240s and Civics. If these Foci are local, shouldn't you be able to do the same?
