JZ150 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 No stripes on mine please but add the full option list of performance add ons. Now that is a car that would be "Hot in the pipline of Ford". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypsocoral Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 LINK-Edmunds.com Can anybody say... "Torque Steer"? More than 250hp in a Front Wheel Drive vehicle is a pretty dumb idea. Now give this sucker a rear-biased AWD, and that sucker will rip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstock Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 AFAIK, it's FWD. However, torque-steer is less of a problem than part of the fun, for a short wheel-base coupe, but AWD is what it really needs. IMHO, Ford could go a long way to promote its AWD Fusion if it provided HD transmission parts and AWD conversions for the Focus, especially the 2-dr, so the enthusiast could build a faux WRC Focus. The idea of a 275hp AWD 2-dr Focus IMHO, is a good one. The car might not make money, but its presence in the model range adds to the perceived image. In a negative fashion, DC did the opposite, to the Neon, cancelling the 2-dr. coupe because less than 25% were 2-drs. And Honda stupidly continues to build their 2-dr Civic models. Ya gotta love bean-counter marketing. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
