Chill with the focus, i personally wouldn't drive one period, and if i had to choose i would take the Saleen N2O focus over it

It appears to be mostly looks. Suspension can be upgraded as well but does not have any real performance upgrades.

Id drive an svt focus, but Ive heard their quality sucks, and Ive said it before, and Ill say it again, Id love to have a four cylinder (turbo honda, focus svt, w/e) but there will ALWAYS be a v8 in my garage.

Whats wrong Banny? Run out of Vagisil? It aint like you started this thread you hijacker.

anyways.

Focus SVT? Saleen Focus? Roush Focus?

I wont want any of them. It is just another stupid little dorky car like the Neon. I dont care how fast it is, i dont care what body kits it has, i dont care if it is faster than my mustang.
IT IS STILL A STUPID LITTLE CAR AND YOU WOULD'NT CATCH ME DEAD IN IT.

Like the VW Turbo Beetles. Yeah. it has a turbo. IT IS STILL A STUPID CAR.


This is a perfect example of people opting for Performance over styling, when they could easily have both.

Focus. Bah. Stupid little circus clown car. Drive em all off a cliff.

And before anyone decides to chime in some stupid thing like "Well i got a buddy who has a focus with blah blah and it runs blah blah at the track and coule whooop your mustang" Let me just say, I DONT FREAKIN CARE, I DONT CARE IF IT IS FASTER, YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A DAMN RETARD DRIVING THE UGLY PIECE OF CRAP.

GOOD DAY.
:D

wow way to bash me harsh thanks slappy i liek my mustang too i just would love to have a nice little 4 banger that i coudl mod and that i woudl not have to do appearanc mods to i can work on the engine

95bstallion 10-06-2005 12:54 PM

experience
 
I know for a fact everything there is to know about the svt one of my best friends has one and they are pretty quick 4 bangers...nothing that can touch a stang but not bad. The interior is very nice in them and if you get a european package you get the bad ass recaro seats. They handle like no other. The 6 speed transmission helps it but in a race the 6 gear does hardly anything not enough power or torque but they are nice cars. You can diss one if you have never driven in one or atleast road in one. ;)

Oh yah uhh, that rant really wasnt directed at you, sorry bout that. <grin>

I dunno, i just hate the styling a lot of cars come out with. It is almost like the designers are a bunch of metrosexuals who want the cutest car they can.

Focus? Where are the wheels? it looks like a roller skate.

Neon? Remember seeing that cute little car zipping around on the early commercials and stopping to say "hi"?

Echo? Man, it looks like something kicked it in the ass and the butt never came down.

I like my cars low slung, i like a big engine, i like the big wheels and thick rims.

seems like all they want to make anymore are these 6foot tall cars that can barly hold a 13in rim.

Check out the first hybrids. I like the idea of hybrids, i would love to have one, but the first hybrids like the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius? Holy crap, could they have POSSIBLY made them look stupider?
Its like the oil companys paid honda and toyota off to make the cars look so stupid that nobody would want them. I'd jusst feel like a total tool riding around in one of those.

Thank GOD the mustang has always been a slick lookin car. They never made it "cute"

I could rant about these stupid lookin cars all day. What happened to low-slung and mean? Why is everything coing out "tall and cute"? I dont want tall and cute! i want something that GROWLS and has attitude. None of these new pocket-rocket bubblegum cars comes close to that.

Hell I never even noticed that you posted anything till I looked under the pic.

04DarkShadowGT 10-06-2005 02:35 PM

Saleen and Roush focus are both waste of $$. There are much better compact cars for that price.

RSX-S, SRT-4, new Civic SI, Sentra Spec V, etc. All look better, are faster, and are cheaper.

Hell I was reading a rag that tested the new saleen focus and it ran a 15.1 on the bottle. Thats pathetic for a 25K performance car.

This is the worst design I have ever seen on any vehicle...notice the similarity :confused:

stang00 10-06-2005 05:54 PM

and when you drive around in it, you would still look like a tool.

id point and laugh if you told me you spent all that money on a focus, i dont even care if you could beat me in a race, i would still laugh for dropping all that money on a focus, I rather buy a used 2000 vette with like 50,000 miles for that price.

madmatt 10-06-2005 07:40 PM

Yea, and then when I saw you, Id point and laugh at you because you must have a small manmember...lol jk. Guys, dont worry, Im not buying a focus. My next vehicle will have four valves, and a nice shiny positive displacement air compressor on top, oh and did I mention itll be silver?

Ok. As a designer... wait, as you call us a "metrosexual who wants the cutest car I can," I take a little offense to this statement. First, you clearly have no idea what the general public wants. It doesn't matter that YOU want a "low slung, mean" looking car. Other people want a car they can drive to work in and get 30+ mpg. They want a car that doesn't draw lots of attention and is sensible. All of which, I don't think a Mustang or Corvette can do. Don't be so closed minded. If you like your Mustang then cool. If you don't like a Focus then cool. But it is not because the designers are metrosexuals who only want tall cars that look like rollerskates. It is because they are designing for a target market. Remember, other people have graduated high school and might have needs other than looking cool in their mustang infront of the sophomore girls at the homecoming dance. :rolleyes:
