    im thinkin tight, rear wheel drive conversion, alot of airbrush graphics, and its got what looks to be a v8 swap in it

    looks fast, can you say sleeper,any race, people are gonna think 4 banger with graphics, its not gonna be quick, but theres alot more motor than before, and its a light car

    The bodystyle isn't my thing. Is the car fast? Sure looks like it, but I don't know about the taste in exterior design.

    The insides are good, but the outsides are too much.

    Yeah... Id love to see the looks that thing gets when someone thinks they are racing a normal POS focus, hahahaa

    but as far as looks go... it looks tacky to me. Is that the diamond plated look???

    wow, what a great example of a good idea gone bad! plus 500 points for the v8 and RWD conversion, but -10,000 points for everything else.

    that paintjob makes me want to throw up my lunch....eat it again off the floor....then throw it up again

    and can there *be* anymore front lips on the car?

    v8's and rwd are becoming more and more common these days for foci. First was the cosworth 5.0 in a focus. Then the RWD focus shown in SCC. Also Ford has a prototyp kit car they want to sell. Basically its a kit for 22 grand dealer installed with a warranty. Get the current 4.6 L v8 they have bored out to 5.0 L And then hooked up a lil. Makes 430 hp and 375 lb ft. RWD conversion, total new suspension...etc. Have to buy the focus too of course though. So for 38 grand you get a fast ass sub compact rwd v8 car.

    no, don't no matter what, in a tight spot just wait it out for something a little better than a ford. :(

    those graphics are awful, he probably asked a middle schooler what they thought he should do and just went with it. my 13 yr old brother is always like, "when are you gonna put some cool graphics on it?" ummm...probably never

    b/c i have a neon? i had a 98 ford contour that was broken all the time, and even uglier than your car, so I wasn't upset when it was totaled, and my neon has given me very few problems and i've made it look just as good as many corollas, so i'm not really sure where you're going w/ your comment :rolleyes:

    I like the idea, but that kit is ugly and the paint is too over-the-top.

    I will never own a ford product made before 1990 (and even then theres a select few).
