Too bad the one pictured isn't red either, great job Ricardo! So who can tell me when this will air? And I will get it on Speed Channel correct?

sorry to stir stuff up guys, saw a lot of info from Tim over from Fireballed! and it got me pumped up

everything is saying that it will be airing in October (which is when all new seasons of shows tend to start airing). i've heard 3rd week of October, but the press release i saw just said "airing October"

I usually don't watch that show on Speed, but if a Focus tuner will be on, then I will have to watch. Even though I hate the 08's, they do look the best in black.

I was at the dealership the other day checking out my Cobra R wheels that just came in, and I mentioned to my dad to order the 08' coupes in darker colors. With the talented group of Focus tuners we have here, I am sure they will do a great job making the 08 perform and look great.

Paint those headlight housings black, and maybe the grille to and I will be so in love. Oh don't forget to paint the side vent/grilles while your at it!

Can't wait to see what suspension and wheels go on! Should mature right out of econo-boxhood, into sporty coupe.

Well, buying the rights would probably be cost prohibitive. But, I am in contact with the producer/host of the show, so I will certainly see what is possible.

Come on now, the fact that Randy was working on it should be a sure sign that there's no way the car wouldn't be getting boosted

I love how its like... "skunk works on the exterior, skunk 2 works on the body, skunk 2 works on paint"

Meanwhile in the FS garage....Engine pulled out, built, turbo'd, caged, transmission work, suspension.

This is awesome!









But no offense, won't the Evo still have more power stock than the FS Turbo Focus?

It COULD, but it probably wont. I'm sure they aren't just throwing a stg 2 on and calling it a day. They are building up the engine (it says so even on the speed tv site). ClintB is putting down 280whp in a FS turbo 2.0 duratec, that's more than a stock evo.
