Say your Focus doesn't have enough punch....
Try this.....

In case you are wondering what the above link is referring to, it is a V8/RWD conversion for the Focus. The motor is a mildly built up 5.0L 302 with GT40 Heads.

Just like a Fairmont with a 302, 351, or 460.

My first car 10 years ago was a '78 Fairmont. Thougth about the V8 route but I didn't have a cent to my name back then. It is long gone.

Yeah, but it will still be a Focus. Besides, the Meguiars Focus is running 8's with a 4 cylinder and front wheel drive, but again, it's still a Focus. Sorry, but like the new Matrix, Vibe, Civic Si, I just can't get past the hideous top heavy looks of the Focus.

I like the looks, concept of the focus... but the quality issues!
