2. Its a ford...

ford is fine

they didnt nearly blow the motor and its equipped with nitrous from the factory


i like it quite a bit

THen go drive it and be embarrased when someone who bought a 4k car decides to run N20 for an additional 500 and their 4500 car whips your 28-29k cars ass.

But my car has a warranty in case something goes wrong, they don't.

I love that car, if I had the money I'd get one.

That's just sexy.

Also, in case your too stupid to know, Saleen has always used Ford cars as their starting point.
So your first 2 reasons why this cars, means that any other Saleen Car & Truck sucks.

Interesting idea, looks better than your average focus (kinda, but thats like saying vomit looks better than s**t) but I don't really like focus's, or nitrous, so not for me.

I like how they list a honda civic si doing 0-60 in 7.7 and the quarter in 15.7 and the rsx-s doing the same quarter mile with a 6.8 0-60 But I'm sure most focus owners won't think twice...OOO, NOS

 

[Shiznit]

it comes with n2o? that means its not street legal... unless its unhooked... wtf is the point?

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Since it came from the Factory wth N2O, it's street legal, but of course, it's only for Off-Road Use only

 

[bigpatskize]

a juiced car with a warranty and saleen parts........


i likey

Thats the first thing that poped in my mind.....werid

 

[Shiznit]

Since it came from the Factory wth N2O, it's street legal, but of course, it's only for Off-Road Use only

thats basically what i said... it has to be unhooked for it to be street legal

Old news? I saw the N20 foci on Ford lots a long time ago (back in 04').. its really nothing special.. its not considered "cool" in the Focus scene either.. but I dont remember seeing it at 26k.. it was cheaper..

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

I don't believe so.. I'll ask my friends dad about that, since it came from the factory..

I also remember seeing something about a n2o focus in road and track or super street awhile ago, but this one looks a little different I think.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

I totally thought that it was going to be a mustang....

it wouldnt be embarrassing

you could slap a big enough shot on a geo metro to make it beat a much more expensive civic, but i would still rather have the civic than the geo metro


and this juiced car has a warranty


and first you say $26k, now it's $28-29,000, that's some major appreciation in value right there.... that's $3k in just a few minutes... imagine what it'll be worth in a few years

umm this car isnt new, it was advertised many years ago.....it was in 5.0 magazine at least 3 or 4 years ago...

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

umm this car isnt new, it was advertised many years ago....hook up the nitrous there goes the warranty...it was in 5.0 magazine at least 3 or 4 years ago...

How can hooking up the nitrous void the warranty? The car is N2O ready.

That'd be like Mitsubishi telling you "Well, you have a warranty, but since you hit boost, it's voided, boost adds too much stress to the engine. Sorry. Now bend over."
