I drove my brothers plenty of times and it really is a great car. Fast, torque steer is addicting to play with, and it goes where you want to put it. I'm kinda annoyed he is selling it now though since I wanted to put coilovers and wheels on it. That engine sounds very nice too under any amount of acceleration.
Any more power and the Focus ST needs AWD.
It does have a very nice sound. The car is an absolute blast to drive. It has more braking power than anything I've driven. It'll put your eyeballs in the windshield.
The market for the focus St is already huge, add to that, a Mustang with the same engine, and it's gonna get big real fast. Turbod 4's also don't have the same fart can sound that Hondas do, just look at a subie with exhaust, they're throaty and mean, so exhaust note won't be an issue, and with how fast companies are gonna jump on modding them, they're gonna be nasty little fuckers in no time
Found this picture of the 2.3. It's interesting that there's no longer an exhaust manifold. The manifold is built into the cylinder head. I sure wish I could read what model number that honeywell turbo MG]
Which is why I can't easily swap on a bigger turbo to my ST.
Wonder if the one on the 2.3 would fit?
What focus do you have?
I just came....
This looks killer!
I just barfed.
Apparently mikeyfitz wants in the '15 game. Gonna be interesting....
