I raced a svt focus 2 days ago and had him by 2 cars, There not that quick and they weigh a little more.

i dont know what the hell is up with everyone. the st that i raced is quicker than the svt with the same mods (because we all are friends i know what mods they have)

The problem with a SVT is that the stock components are so good that there really isn't room to improve on the 170hp. Where as the ST gets good amount of hp from each basic bolt-on and it doesn't take much power to make up the gap.

not all 2.4s were destined to be created equal.

saleen focus is ****. the only way it is good is if you buy the adapter for the n20 from saleen

wtf are you talking about buy the adapter? It is called the "N2O Focus" The s121 which was the one with no nitrous ended up just being a flop and they stopped producing them after a very very small amount were made and continued only with the nitrous ready model (which had bottles in the trunk already, it wasn't just some little adapter...) , which will walk all over a 2.4.

You are correct.

And none of the saleen foci came with the nitrous actually hooked up.

and you had to buy the rest of the kit so you could use the nitrous

well i was a porter back when those cars were still being sold and the only one that i ever drove had everything in. It was just disconnected at the bottle and obviously the bottles were not full, but it came with a 10 lb bottle in the trunk. What rest of "the kit" did you have to buy? i was under the impression there wast he s121, then there was the n2o focus and the n2o came with everything, the s121 was the same thing without the nitrous setup.

There is some lines that aren't connected.
