Yeah the V8 Focus was a cool vehicle.

What I have seen recently is the GSX-R 1000 bike engine in a Smart car ... now that was coool.

Wow, jus wow. That acceleration from the camera view of the vehicle behind was just amazing. I have not seen anything like it!

Its just a little strange though to hear that kind of engine noise coming out of that car. It would recieve a lot of looks, I bet!

I am really surprised how they could fit a 351 into a Focus. I haven't read all the posts but that would have to be a Windsor wouldn't it? As if they could fit a Cleveland in that tiny little thing.

What, no seat for his dog?

I suppose, being a ute, the dog could ride in the back.
