Then your just turning it into a muscle car, sorta. It's all about making FWD econoboxes spank on V8's Never the less, that Focus would scoot

I actually raced a focus not too long ago. Of course it wasn't like that. It was a new ZX3, wooped on me though
Turns out he had a good amount of mods allong with a Jackson Racing Supercharger, at least the guy was cool about it though
