So sick of shopping for cars

It's sad that I actually kind of down-graded in power when I sold my focus, but it definitely handles better.
FWD sucks with a lot of power and just standard lowering springs. I loved that car though.
Sonic Blue is the prettiest color ever, even more than Vista Blue.
Get the center exhaust kit for FRPP for it. It looks and sounds amazing after an O/R pipe too.

Don't go with the jackson. I haven't heard great things about it and it doesn't put out that much power. I think when my friend was looking at it, people were making like 220 to the wheels or something like that. He got his vortech kit used for like $2000.

Here were the main websites I used for my Focus.

This was my primary forum. The guys there are all Focus Fanatics and literally always had an answer for me. Plus, you can go on there and look at some of there cars and see later on whether you want Powerworks S/C or a Turbo kit.

Good choice on the car, and the color.
Enjoy it man. After a little bit of work on the suspension and a bit more power she becomes a corner carver.
EDIT: Ohh and by the way the transmission in that car can be compared the the T-56 in the Cobras for FWD cars. It's a beast and is definitely the best FWD car I have ever set foot in.
