Drove a friend's focus today....

bigwhitecobra · 10-17-2001, 07:18 PM

I went down to Precision Dyno in Belmont, NC today and saw a friend of mine. He owns the dyno(which could come in handy

). Well, I don't know what to say about the car except that it's getting 240hp to the wheels. It's a turbo Focus and I have to tell you....the thing is just badazz! He let me drive it a little, and the thing is just a beast. He custom built the kit, and is concidering marketing it. Needless to say I want one for my little ZTS.

I'll see if I can post a copy of his dyno sheet. I know it's just a focus, but if you line up next to it, you better have your "A" game. (A blower works good too.)

Anyway, just thought you guys and gals would like to know about the rest of the Blue Oval crowd. Later.

That is some crazy power from a focus. i bet your friend could surprise all the ricers and probably camaros too LOL. Thats crazy. Given the popularity of focuses he could probably make some money off of it.
