Right, starting in Jan the true 06's came out for some reason up until then they built all 06's with the 05 specs. The 05-07 Foci is so enigmatic that I'm going to have to go through all the books again.

'05 STs are special because they were equipped with jew gold and are easily worth 10K more than 06-07s. Can't believe no one brought this up yet.

In all seriousness, I'm amazed at how quick people claim this car is. I think the ST is zippy, but in stock form I can't really call it fast. It runs out of breathe on the freeway too quickly too.

Maybe for you but I can haul up to a very dang fast speed on the interstate while making jaws drop at the same time. I think that's what I seriously love most about the ST, its a wolf in sheep's clothing. To a real untrained eye it just looks like any other Focus sedan out there until you let it rip.

I have the 06 suspension.

In all seriousness do not use racism, it bothers me very much when people use other religions as a scape goat or the but end of a joke like that.

I wouldn't say the car is very fast, but it is capable of a low 15. It's no record-setter, but it's decently fast.Considering the class it's in, the car is a scalded dog, though. As a matter of fact, I wouldn;t even say it runs out of breath until the speeds are plain dangerous. The car pulls hard well past 80.
