Re: I hate a focus

no.......dual exhaust wont do shit for 4-banger UNLESS ITS A BOXER which...foci are not. its proven man....it only adds extra weight. it can serve a purpose as to...sound, but nothing else. your exhaust is only as good as its narrowest point. splitting a single exhaust into dual, like i said, is pointless.

and i mentioned before you retards that i had just noticed he was talking about 8th mile! YEA 8th fucking mile is something to talk about WOO MY CAR CAN TO TEN YARDS IN 3 SECONDS! HOW ABOUT THAT BITCH???WOAH! fuckin retards. post some real QUARTER MILE times, your 8th mile dont mean shit to anyone but people who think that matters. its all about your trap and finish times. not what you got half way in.

Re: I hate a focus

um... why don't u post something usefull then... tell us all what you get in the 1/4 mile you dumbshit... and honestly, i was like you when i first bought my car "quit quoting 1/8th mile times it doesn't matter, only 1/4 does." um ya thats wrong cuz in the united states there are actually an even amount or more 1/8th mile tracks compared to 1/4 mile tracks... so don't be so fucking ignorant...
and if ur gonna dispute a 58 yr/old boing engineer that has been building cars and airplanes alike for a good fucking 40-45 yrs. then ur stupider than i thought and u better provide some hard evidence...

hahaha...well lets see if i ran that 9.6 at an 8th mile strip which i did then that is my finishing time you retard. take a look at all the focus slips you can find and you will see that prolly most of them dont get that unless they are built up a bit, also the 8th mile time directly correlates with the 1/4 mile time. seeing as though i had top end mods and all i would say a 9.6 8th mile is pretty freaking respectable.

Also did you not even watch the videos those were guess what a 1/4 mile track. with a 9.9 8th i got a 15.5 1/4. o my god you would need an svt focus to even think of those numbers.

Re: I hate a focus

um ya... and like we've both said b4... click on the fuckin links and u will believe us... whether u admit it to us or not, you can't deny video proof and witnesses... oh and just in case u arent aware of this... you have to go an 1/8th of a mile... in order to reach a fucking quarter mile... why not try and do good on that too. the faster u get to 60' then 1/8th mile... the faster your 1/4 mile time will be... oh and, thanks for posting... have a nice day...

Re: I hate a focus

v8 kits are stupidly pointless:
5.0 pushrod = 10,195 +s/h (assuming you install your self

4.6 = 6,325 +s/h

and unless you use a cobra motor have under 300whp and have roughly no handeling

or

zx3 + focus-power turbo kit and have 320whp for $5200

Re: I hate a focus

no way your getting 15's then man i need to see slips or you have a lot of work done, that would put a 5spd right ion the ass of a SVTc and i kill them(5spd v6's, not SVT's) at the track all teh time
