All Foci handle fine straight from the box, but the SVT handles even better. A stock Focus should be fine for good handling. I would stick with 03 or 04 and up as the earlier Foci had some reliability problems since it was a fairly new platform. The only performance versions of the Focus are the SVT, which is currently out of production, and the Salleen, it's main attraction being that it's nitrous ready.
