OK, so the Ford press releases are out. I feel like I need to clarify a few things. First and most importantly, the 500 HP is at the CRANK, not the wheels. This is how we list power figures when we deal with auto shows because the general public just doesn't understand what wheel HP is and you don't have the opportunity to explain that in press releases. Also, Ford and car magazines don't list WHP so it just makes things more confusing for most who read about the car.

And I might regret saying this since it might deflate some of you, but this SEMA Focus isn't finished yet. I don't know if the current fuel set up will support the power we are aiming for. And we are running out of time. However, that is what we are going after. The press release was done a while ago. With SEMA projects you kind of have to say what you are going to do and THEN do it. A bit backwards, but that's how it is since SEMA proposals have to be submitted at the end of February and then you wait for several months before you find out if you are "in."

I don't think the power goal is that hard to reach, but it might not be attainable with the current hardware and time that we have to complete the build. We will see. If we don't hit the numbers we want, we will hit them after SEMA. And actually, my personal goal is well over 500 hp at the crank and I know it can be done with this set up with some tweaks to the fuel system.

I will hold off on the build details for now. Not sure if I will leak those before SEMA or just let the details come out at SEMA. I'm still kicking it around.

Anyway, those are some of the things that are worth noting. We don't want to mislead people, so there you have it. Hopefully, some of you are still excited.

We've got some plans for this car on the track.

WE DEMAND DETAILS! STAND AND DELIVER!!

jk.
Can't wait to get the 411 on this car.

Im not impressed by the looks of the 08 and up focus in STOCK trim. But that lip kit, salmmed status with some nice offset wheels make these things oh-so-sexy... OMG. and 500HP... DROOL...

^^^Who is sponsoring rear wheel alignment

?

This car will be amazing. I am happy you decided to make it black. Will it be mate black or regular gloss? I can’t wait for full coverage. FSWerks makes Mk2 look proper! Have to give big

for that.

I hope they added a RevoKnuckle...

Randy,
If you see a skinny old guy outside your shop in a tree, or peeping over your wall with a telephoto lens, don't call the cops. It's just me trying to get some spy shots. I can't figure out how to use this damn camera anyway so you have nothing to worry about.

Once again, great job FSWerks!!

**HotRodKristina** · 10-29-2009, 12:59 PM

DANA!

I took a guess on your wheel pic question, it's the only one that would make sense for a SEMA car but I'm probably wrong.

Yup...that's the FS clan gathered around it back there....

**chewbacca** · 11-06-2009, 08:24 PM

The only two pics of the car that I've seen on Autoblog.

**Nickgt40** · 11-06-2009, 08:44 PM

Wow, that is just about perfect. Now if you just fitted the brake ducts from the yellow car to this one it would be done. Awesome job guys, I love the understatement of the black.

**tymeks** · 11-06-2009, 08:54 PM

Pretty cool diffuser on the back. From the other thread I saw the post on the car and it said it had a J&S Safeguard on it. I thougt that was old school tech. I had one on my first turbo car 8 years ago.

**brads03zx3** · 11-06-2009, 10:16 PM

It works great. FSwerks recommends it for serious builds.
