Hey out there,
Some goofball had a wonderfull idea and a hell of a budget. He took his 2001 Focus ZX2 to a performance shop, where they made it intoa rearwheel drive.
Then they dropped in a Ford crate motor; 5 litre V8, pumping out 360hp.
Then they added dual exhaust, a heavy duty rear end, and some rims to top off the package.
Then it ended up on Hot Rod TV, where it was rolling along, and was passed by an M5. The M5 couldn't pull away from it, the damn Focus sat on it's ass the whole trip.
Good or bad thing? Well, i've said it before and i'll say it again. If that Focus were mine, it'd be

TIME TO MAKE RICE!!!
What do ya'll think of this revolution? Honestly, as cool as that would be to have, if those kinda things are rolling around on the road, that makes my newly modded Bonneville much less of a novelty. In all honesty, i'm disgraced at the fact that some pimple-faced 16 year old could pull beside me in that thing with "Fly for a White Guy" blasting on the stereo, and whoop my ass.
Is this alot of hype over nothing, or a realistic 'problem' that we should do something about. Comments are welcome!
