Wow! That is an AWESOME SITE!!!
I keep sayin I want a Cobalt SS cause its more practical, but my dream car has been an 02 Camaro SS (black, t-tops, leather, 6 spd, SLP package... Im not too picky) Ever since I can remember well it wasnt neccesarily an 02 until they quit makin em.
And every time I see videos (like the Wish I may video at the bottom) It makes me crave that rwd LS1 grunt again. I cant take it man Im torn! Which ride should I get???? Sorry to whore your thread man.

Was that Focus on spray??? or s/c or what?!??!?!

All i know is that it's turbo'd. The owner of the car keeps it pretty secret about the details (don't know why). Anyways, he ran an 11.3 I believe

secret my ass. :rolleyes:

Just "turboed" is an understatement. You can't even boost a focus without alot of money due to their weak ass rods and internals. Costs lots and lots of money to boost one reliably, much less have one run low 11's. Props to the owner of the car.

So its not even an SVT??? Wow. If I tuned any Focus it would HAVE to be an SVT because of the 6spd tranny.

Why? People post vids of races all the time, at least this one was at a lighted drag strip so you could see it!
