technically the svt focus was around 10 years ago.. in europe as the st170. hence his svt focus statement

**CaysE** · 02-05-2008, 06:33 AM

LOL no it wasn't... it was released in 2002.

**Egz** · 02-05-2008, 08:09 AM

Correct. The ST170 and SVT were released together in 2002.

**MattZTS** · 02-05-2008, 10:31 AM

also the platform isnt a decade old either. atleast not in america. unless another car was on the focus platform before i dont know. but i know it was developed of the focus and not used before that.

even if it is a decade old its not that freaking old. how often do people want fully re engineered platforms.

It was released in late 1998 as a 1999 model in Europe, then released here in late '99 as a 2000 model. So yeah, the platform is almost 10 years old.

There is a difference between being humerous, and being a troll.

**CaysE** · 02-06-2008, 06:43 AM

BAD chaz! You should know all it takes is one undisputed false post by a senior member to start a wildfire of idiocy.

**0SVTf3** · 02-06-2008, 02:28 PM

Does anyone have a link the video? is it online anywhere?

**TriniZX3** · 02-06-2008, 09:31 PM

all i have to say is that i have those exact rims. team dynamics racing ftw.

**GOTBOOSTzx2** · 02-12-2008, 09:34 PM

I may have missed it by being lazy, but is there anymore info/specs of the car listed anywhere?

**s3anister** · 02-22-2008, 02:38 AM

The new focus only looks good because focussport made it look like a cross between a mustang and a dodge or something.

By giving it a lip kit and painting the grille black?

So are you from Team Fireball or Skunk2?

**FocusSportVP** · 02-22-2008, 11:54 AM

Guys, we all have our opinions.

I hear many different thoughts on how we made it look and what the cars now look like.

**alucardsvt** · 02-23-2008, 05:49 PM

^are you guys planning on selling that car or does it belong to speed?

**FocusSportVP** · 02-23-2008, 06:35 PM

SPEED doesn't own any of our cars and at this time they are not for sale.

**Thameth** · 02-24-2008, 12:30 AM

I piled up all the episodes on my DVR and just was able to sit down and watch them all at once today.

Congrats Randy and the Focussport team. It was interesting that the only real figures the show gave were the Dyno numbers, no real track times or braking results. I agree with most in this thread that the Focus did fit the guidelines the best and looked pretty good... for an 08'....

.

I wouldn't blame the other boards if they criticized the show for just pulling you guys as winners out of a hat.... All the previous numbers and such didn't seem to really matter hehe....

But again HUGE CONGRATS, you guys deserved it and were clearly the most professional team of the bunch.

**det_riot** · 02-29-2008, 01:36 PM

That focus def out classed the other to in the looks dept. Clean and subtle is the way to go.

**ladybug04** · 02-29-2008, 01:53 PM

^unless yous a ricer lmao
clean FTW focussport you guys rule, any info on those dvds?

**FocusSportVP** · 02-29-2008, 02:08 PM

We did our commentary for the DVDs last week. Now we just need to do the artwork.
