Yeah, I was gonna ask Twilight02ZX3 (the guy that posted his Focus 1/4 times in this forum and got flamed for it) if he knew anything about the upcoming Mazda3/Focus. He says he works at a Ford dealershp. Man, if Ford can do it on a Focus, imagine doing it also on the Protege.

I still have bad memories with Fords but hmm... very enticing, this!!

OK, so who's up for the next project car?

If the can fit that into a Focus, we can fit it into a P5. In Japan the option exists for AWD, so there must be room for the driveshaft and differential.


And if you wanted to get cheesey, you could call it "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day" ---- sorry, couldn't resist that one!

heres another one i got a pic of at NOPI last year in atlanta, it had a 302 in it, it was also rear drive and yeah it was a fast lil focus. its like those things were destined to fit, i think ford was just waiting for someone to come along and do this.damn sneaky bastards

Anyone remember the SHOgun?

Festiva with the old Taurus SHO powertrain in the back?

yeah but 69K for a focus? and on top you have to buy a car you self!!! might run you 85K for a focus!

rather go out and buy a M5 the best preformance sedan on the face of the earth!

that my opinion. what do i know.

70 grand for a focus. talk about a bad idea.

 

[pshaw34]
