04 Civic Si vs. SVT Focus

The second week i've had my car, and i finally raced. I was leavin' class at six, and went to mcdonalds for some dinner. At about seven i left and went to the strip in front of our mall, and low and behold an SVT Focus pulls up next to me. Of course, i looked over and like made some facial expressions, and did the classic head nod and we started revving. Now i'm not a good shifter yet by any means, but i took off and we were even, and after around 85, i was almost a car length in front, then i let off, and went about my business. It was fun if nothing else entertaining for people that may have seen it. My car is totally stock and so was the SVT. I think i'll wait a lil' bit longer for any mods.

I think i could beat the crap out of some civic. You may have some money and a new si, but that won't protect you when you go up against a real Car....DSM. haha, Turbo beats N/A anyday.

Re: 04 Civic Si vs. SVT Focus

SVT Focus runs like a 15.9 at best, they are not worthy of the SVT badge.

They actually run low 15's, but I still liked the SVT Contour a lot more.

good kill. the SVT focus and the Si are very evenly matched in straight line wise. however the handling and braking goes to the SVT.

Closed mindedness...

Another sign of Hunger.





Hungry?!? GRAB A SNICKERS!

Frankly, we could give a rats ass about your Damn Slow Mitsubishi's.


Of course, there are fast DSM's. There are fast Honda's. There are fast everythings. So...



Consider this a warning.

Thanks Kiddo.
