Car Info: 2004 Subaru STI/WRX Silver of course
SCC did a bit on one back in Feb 2003 article says 212hp @ 5500rpm and 229lb-ft @ 3500rpm. They say it is based on the existing 2.0l. But upgraded with a custom built Garret GT 2560LS water cooled turbercharger and oil spray-cooled pistons. Offical 0-60 times of 6.5 secs top speed of 144mph. If anybody knows any different then please let me know I just posted what was in the mag.

A 30k Focus? Why not, Id buy one. People are shelling out 30K for a Subaru already. Besides, the Fords in Europe aren't you daddy's Fords here. Seen Getaway In Stockholm?

Well if the new on e has more HP then the more the better but is it true that it will be AWD if so might be something to look out for. Like Dodge with the SRT4 Ford has been in the business of making performance vehicles for a long time I guess because I am from the south it was bread in me to love American muscle... Hence my fist car at the age of 14 was a 66 Cheville SS396 whole lot a car for my age...Or a 55 Ford pickup with a Chevy big block in it Hillbilly all the way.....By the way I am sure there is more than one running around but who has the black STI that was on Hickam this week by the cop shop??? All I got to say is they look better in person than any picture who ever you were great looking car. I am trying to talk my friend into getting one over a G35 I would rather have the G35 but if he gets a STI I can drive it might be a good thing.....

To compete head on with the likes of WRX STi and the Lancer Evo VIII, Ford in the UK is undergoing some testing on the new US model Focus Cosworth.
