When I was lookin for my car at the ford dealerships I saw a Saleen Focus. This thing was so awsome! It had N20 and everything. I never knew that Saleen Focuses existed until then. Anyone here own one or ever drive one?

A small pic that I snapped with my phone. But I had to convert it to a .gif to put it up here so its crappy quality. But oh well! Check out the cool scoop it has! I didnt get a shot of the sides cause I was getting in the car at the time. But it has awsome rims, some cool designs on the sides (looked like black lightning) and it at the Saleen wing on the back with a little N20 emblem. And it had a 14 on the right front bumper.

Yeah, I knew about them, but wasn't real excited. I love my SVT Focus, but...that one did nothing for me

Nice car, but for a little more money, you could get a mustang GT.

I would definetally take the GT over the Focus. The Focus just looks like a really fun car to speed around in on the weekends.

loox ok, not too plain, not to ricey.
hey, did anyone read about that focus that got a v8 shoehorned into it and was converted to RWD? dont remember the engine size tho. it was in some magazine a while back, but that car was SICK!!! it was competing with lambos. now that i think about it, it may have been a foreign magazine. but still, if i had a focus, that's where i would go with it.

It was one of the issues of Motor Trend this summer. It ended up being the winner of the Lamborghini Gallardo, and it WAS fast!!

I'd much prefer the SVT Focus over the Saleen one, though. :yes:

And the Focus RS8 over either one of those.
