View Full Version : Saleen Focus??
LouRider 04-30-2006, 07:56 PM I was down at Arby's on highway K in O'fallon, MO and I believe a saw a Saleen Focus. It was yellow with body kit and a wing. I went on to saleens web site but they took the Focus off their site. Anybody seen it?? Just thought I would share this bit of info.
Xenozx 04-30-2006, 07:58 PM still runs high 15's stock without N20, and I think 15 flat with N20, not worth the name IMO.

Alex47 04-30-2006, 08:19 PM I raced one off the bottle my beretta and beat it and i have also got a ride on the same one on the bottle.
It is the same as a stock SRT-4 then it is on the bottle.

LouRider 04-30-2006, 09:01 PM They are now making a sport truck. I think its kind of dumb, trucks are made for hauling things. Oh well... here is the link to it. It doesn't look half bad.

I still like the S7 the most.
kjn24 04-30-2006, 09:09 PM it just has a bunch of appearance mods, like momo steering wheel and stuff like that. The bottle is just for looks

Actually, it has suspension and better wheels/tires, so it handles great. And the bottle is fully functional just has to be connected. The older body style when on nitrous ran mid 14s the newer body style when on nitrous runs low 14s.

italstalnprd86 05-02-2006, 02:33 PM as soon as you get the bottle filled, it voids the warrenty on the motor..... real sweet

The bottle comes FILLED. As soon as you hook up the bottle it voids the powertrain warrenty.
People please start doing some research.
2K5SS/SC? 05-02-2006, 03:49 PM SS/SC will take the Saleen Focus on N20. Road and Track Speed did a comparo on it along with the RSX type-s and SRT-4.

And everyone knows magazines are the end all to every argument.

In another move signaling the diversity and expansion of Saleen, Inc., the company announced production of the high-performance Focus model for 2004, N2O Focus. According to Steve Saleen, “We’ve been playing with the Focus for a couple of years now, trying this, tweaking that and now we believe we have a product that is ideal for Focus enthusiasts.”
“During development we played with turbocharging and supercharging,” Saleen continued, “but our real-world research out on the ‘streets’ led us to a concept we call ‘nitrous ready’ to keep the Focus at an affordable price level. And, naturally, the N2O Focus model will incorporate the neck-turning styling, suspension tuning, race-proven aero package and performance-focused interior, that is the DNA of every Saleen automobile.”
If you read through the list of Saleen modifications to the Focus’s 2.3-liter, all-aluminum, double-overhead-cam, 4-valve-per cylinder, 4-cylinder, you’ll find a Saleen performance air filter and a Saleen performance center exhaust system on the list. At the bottom of the list are the following three words: nitrous compatible elements. Basically this is shorthand for an engine that will come “nitrous ready” with everything you need to melt the front tires except for a full nitrous bottle, the main hose to the engine and a couple of jumpers to hook up the wiring.
The N20 package for the Focus includes:
Engine:
Direct Port Nitrous 75-hp Wet System with 10-lb nitrous bottle
I found this on a forum.
AND i called Ricart MegaMall in Columbus, Ohio which is the biggest car dealer in the USA. it does not come filled
and the Saleen focus only come with a 2.0L that makes 150 hp at 5750 rpm and 150 lb-ft tq it does 225 hp and 250 tq with spray. an LS could probably take it w/o spray

Wow so many things to pick apart in this post. I will give you a chance to edit though.
kjn24 05-02-2006, 04:39 PM well i found the specs on the bottom off of the saleen website and like i said in the post the other stuff is from a forum. And i did call Ricart.
