That's my car, 600hp is what it will make, it ran the 11.3 last night while being easy on the car, with 447hp at the wheels, @17.5psi. It was also the second pass on the car. One more pass on the car would have been in the 10s but...

Very nice. That is a lot of hp and a lot of tq for such a light vehicle. So is this rocket gonna reach the 10's soon??

sounds like Tom is starting to get a little scared do I sense some competition

haha, now tom can't use the excuse 'no one is faster than me' for a reason why he runs so slow for the power he supposedly makes..... :-)

Dont forget Tom is Banned from the Jet.

and has NO weight reduction on his car (3200 w/driver)
and is a very heavy fella
and uses an Automatic that he must manually shift to 2, 3, D going down the track

Ya, it kinda sucks not having tom around here to defend himself, or update us to his new time slips. I gotta check with him to see how hes fairing out. I know hes got the engine for the white car back together.

Don't forget Tom is Banned from the Jet.

Apperantly didn't pay his bill on time, then became a conflict between him and the uppers.

Not trying to flame or take anything from Tom, I like Tom Fastest Foci in 2004. But there is weight reduction on Tom's car at least when I saw it in NJ and NH. You can start with the missing wiper assy. Hope you both meet up at some FFW events. I think this should be an interesting year for the FI community.

Thats it and its just the wiper arms not the whole transmission but even if it was thats maybe 10lbs.

Nice car and run. Very impressive coming from a road racer in Germany that is a lot.

I have met Tom at his shop he is realy nice guy. Noit sure what happened but I support him as well.

**MikeySSM80** · 06-06-2005, 10:06 PM

Hadn't had time to get the car to the track. Next time it gos out , it will have more hp and some suspension changes. Here's a video of it on our dynojet.url=http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=7EB5B778-8D2E-4E74-8030-7CB21A36D87B]

**Focused** · 06-06-2005, 11:18 PM

Great vid! Honestly, to me, the car doesn't even sound like a 455 whp car. I love it.

And the dyno operator/runner's face at the end is classic!

Hot.

**MikeySSM80** · 06-07-2005, 01:00 PM

That face is Mikey's.....

**Honda Hunter** · 06-08-2005, 08:33 AM

What a stunta!

**Dudley** · 06-08-2005, 10:59 AM

I love that look on Mikey's face - I couldn't tell if he was impressed or angry.

I love that sig, too:

Turbo 99' White ZX2 250whp 245ftlbs.
Turbo 00' Red Focus
Sweet 90' White Festiva 69whp 85ftlb. after 60 shot of nitrous <--

Zetec 01' Yellow Escape (needs to swap motors/w red Focus) 118whp 124ftlb <-- Doo it! Doo it! I wanna see an Escape run in the 11's!

**DarkSVT** · 06-08-2005, 11:16 AM

Great car! Keep up the work, 10's soon!

What is the redline on the car?

How many people on these forums just look at peak numbers and wonder why their car is not faster.

THANK YOU!!! some1 who also understands the truth!!!

good job, dont let all these people who want all the facets of proof 1st, then praise you after they validate in their minds after seeing it, and then furthermore wanna buy ur stuff now that u've taken time to figure it out.

keep it up, shame to hear bout tom. dont frequent the board terribly much anymore. no time to work on car, other things taken precedent. just home sick again 2day and bored enuff to come over and read the FI forum only to see this very nice project.

good luck
