I really like the Focus ST. Hope you have better luck with this one. I love my Focus. I just bought a add on so I can add the back up camera to mine for like $300 total. A lot cheaper then the Titanium package.
No I haven't sold the white beauty yet. Not even getting any hits even after reducing the price to $19,500. We are getting ready to change the siding color on the house and garages. Hard to believe we put on what is there 28 years ago. Karen is tired of the color and wants to change it before we retire. I have a contractor line up. This house has no basement. We don't really have any place to go in severe weather. That tornado a few weeks ago was on 7 miles from me. Going to add a small steel safe room on one of the bedrooms on the south end of the house so it get the new siding also. I have been going to do this for many years. Now that I work at a fabricator with plenty of welders want to earn extra $$ and I can get steel plate and structural steel at a reasonable price now is my chance. The contractor is working up a quote for the extra work now. That's my big plans for the summer in a nut shell. No trips planned so far.

Midwest Friends, just a quick heads up, we finally moved into our new facility today. We will be looking for some Mustangs for product comparison shots in the near future. Here's a link to our FB page for more updates: https://www.facebook.com/DiodeDynamics

The ST looks good. You might try taking it to the track and see how it stacks up against the Stang!!

I'm afraid too. It probably would beat the stang in time and I would be crying over all the $$ I spent on the stang to make it go fast.

Well I joined a Focus ST Forum and I'm trying not to get the mod itch but...


I'm thinking of some redline hood strongarms to replace the prop rod. Also a turbo BOV that would vent to atmosphere (too ricey???). A short shifter plate (makes the shifter throws 40% shorter) and some new engine mounts. All I get is wheel hop if I get on it in 1st or 2nd. I've put about 350 miles on it then I drove the stang the other day. I felt like I had to relearn how to drive it as everything has a different feel to it.

Ouch...better then the price I would give you. My windshield would cost you $19,500. You would just have the rest of the car for future parts. :-)

Wow...very nice. I wish mine would have been a Boss 302. Most likely should sell in the low 80's
