Forgive me for be a skeptic but I don't see how in the world the Focus has a chance. Forgive my turner ignorance, it's been a while since I've been up with tuning cars and I'm sure some of you are going to love to correct me but. The Focus is going to be slaughtered. 
Horsepower
1st= Evo Comes 286 hp with factory turbo(stock) they are aiming for 600hp + AWD_ MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd= Focus 140 HP a standard 2.0 liter 4-banger. No Turbo No Supercharger or anything(stock) They are aiming for 300 hp to the wheels with turbo, not hardly enough
3rd= Mini 107 HP with factory turbo(stock) there aim........ just go !!!!!
Handling
1st= Mini it's an over-sized go kart and it weighs 10 lbs
2nd= Evo it's AWD and has a major horsepower advantage
3rd= Focus heavier than Mini maybe heavier than Evo
This is looking like a slaughter of epic proportions against the Focus. Those guys for Focus team better tune the living hell out of that car in order for it to have a chance.  
The way I see this challenge is
1st = Mini
2nd = Evo
3rd = Focus
this is going to leave a mark

The contest isnt based necessarily on raw results head to head against each other, its
scored on how much of an imporvement in performance and styling the tuners can achieve
over stock. By the way, the evo weighs about 3100-3200 pounds, the mini cooper weighs
about 2660 pounds, and guess what...the new Focus coupe weighs just 2588 pounds...
