They might think about updating the cars to reflect their current drivers?

It's just a show car that was brought along with short notice.

Actually, he's right. It is a front end swap. It's still got the first gen interior.

Wasn't the world challenge car a 2.3L Duratec??

Plus, that SVT is supercharged. It might be a swapped engine on the old racecar.

No because you can see the extentions on the headlights so they can fit onto the "older" model of Focus.

But the fenders on that car don't have the little cut-outs that are necessary for the old-style headlights. The new fenders don't have those cut-outs because the new headlights don't need them. It looks like a weird hybrid design or something- like they used 05 fenders & 04 hood- so needed to extend the headlights.

Wow, It's an SVT with an 05 body kit and accessories, check it out, the interior isn't the same as the 05's, smart and cheaper way would be to buy an SVT and then buy 05 body kit and lights...

Now that wouldn't be very smart.

You'd still have a BUNCH of work to do. (Aside from bastardizing an Innocent SVT with that ugly nose for a reason other than sponsor obligation)
Now, when I ASKED, I was asking if this was the RACE CAR that was for sale for $60k or whatever.
I see now that THIS car is for Sale ALSO for $10K. Still a deal.
It's Supercharged and has all of the "gutting" and FIA cage work DONE.

So, what else do we know about this car, aside from the fact that it runs and is already sorted out?

Sorry for being so stupid, but what is this, when was it, where was it, and who was invited? And who that chick? I want to get up close to that rally car. That's awsome.
