ok, whatever man ... SVT focus has a 2.0 motor. 170hp and lots more torque than an SI. I know it'd take an SI. It won't be a slaughter, but it'd beat the SI.

I think you guys just hating on Fords.

actualy i love fords... older mustangs mostly, what does the svt run in the 1/4... it has 170 hp and weighs in at a heafty??? whats the gear ratio like.. lets talk about the tall tires it comes with... hmmmm can't say that the only factor determining a race is HP... and a race of these two cars would be a driver race.. definately not a car race... very even cars IMHO... it wold definately not beat it consistantly

From Car and Driver:

For all that work, though, the Focus is not as fast as you might expect. At 7.8 seconds to 60 mph and 16.1 seconds through the quarter-mile...

What...on a SVT Focus? Who was driving that? Grandpa Simpson? There is no way the SVT Focus would run 16s. Ford is not that stupid.

Agreed. No one can deny the way the Focus has been holding up against the import-infested world of sport compacts.
