IIRC, that is a factory 2008 electronic TB.

I can appreciate what a nice job Focus Sport does, but to say that it would beat a Z06 with a good driver is a touch one for me. Especially at Fontana or Willow Springs!

Very true, Raffe can drive and those guys he was passing in the Corvette and 911 where inexperience drivers. But, I'm sure that FS's car would have even been faster then it was, if it had batter brakes and suspension. Still not in the class as the Evo's, STi's and S4s. Every racing series out there that has those cars in them has problems, because it's so easy to make them fast.

Good Job Randy

I can't wait to see the final product.

**Hitokiri** · 10-10-2007, 04:47 PM

Awesome!!!

**S. on Da 5** · 10-10-2007, 04:48 PM

Not the Focus that I thought Focus Sport would take but this is great for the 2008.

This is the first time in a long time I have felt some hope for the 2008 Focus.

I will have to order Speed to see this!

Yes please!

I just love the exposure that this is going to bring to the Focus and Ford Motor.

Nothing but love for FS too! Everytime I'm in SoCal...my car try's taking Anaheim freeway exits on it's own fruition.

**BroncoBusterZero** · 10-10-2007, 07:33 PM

sweet!!!! cant wait.

**Fordfan05** · 10-10-2007, 07:45 PM

This is awesome, I can't wait to watch this Wed.

**focalized31** · 10-10-2007, 07:57 PM

**whyme** · 10-10-2007, 08:18 PM

the 08 is drive by wire?

**OmniFocus** · 10-10-2007, 09:07 PM

I won't lie.

I'm pretty excited about this.

**Egz** · 10-10-2007, 09:22 PM

I'm just waiting for an FJ plate frame to see some air time.

And Ron, if you swing something online (for those of us who don't have cable/sat), I'll build a shrine to you in my garage.

**polarisman14** · 10-10-2007, 10:24 PM

At least this will give us all a reason to want a 08 focus
