Marylanders R calling You OUT!
Except for my Focus, I seem to just do the same as the AWD and RWD cars. lol Strong launch and beast through the 1/8 mile and then I hit 4th gear and wait for the finish line cause it has no top end. lol
No, I will be on the slicks. lol On street tires, I'd still trap 106-107mph but at like a 13.8. lol

unreal!. do you have slicks and drag bags?
or a dyno shootout
turbo means nothing. Hes only making 230whp and 215trq. Thats a lightly tuned turbo on a focus.. Im guess aluminum block SVT motor? so low boost? 8-9psi>?
Even if he has no interior that only means he shaved off probably 160Ibs. I did that in my tiburon and shave 0.2 secs off my 1/4 mile on street tires. launched like a bat out of hell ,lol.

YouTube - 2000 Tiburon vs 2006 GTO
Just for fun, m 00' N/A tibby vs a 06 GTO, lol... I think its an 06?
mods to tibby are...
CAI
0BX 4-2-1 headers
custom dual catback exhaust -sounds like **** sometimes especially after the headers went in 2.25" dual pipes.
Light weight crank pulley
light weight power pullet
light weight water pump pulley
no cat
gutted interior -removed EVERYthing even the seat belt brackets
cars best time was a 15.4@89mph. stock it did 16.6
Like his focus, it launched really really well but fell on its face once I got to 3rd gear, lol.
well Im guessing he has a roll cage and if he took out more, does that mean me cut out metal and replaced with sheets of aluminum?

It's a stock '07 2.0L Duratec economy motor that had 130bhp stock. It still has the stock cams (-29* of overlap, only .32 lift), stock intake mani, stock TB, stock cast internals, etc... I've never opened the long block. The Focus weighed 2440lbs stock & empty, and I've gotten it down to barely that weight with me in it and a half tank of gas. No interior minus two Corbeau seats and 4-point harnesses, the front and rear crash supports have been removed and replaced with 5lb aluminum bars, no A/C compressor or ducting (saved alot of weight, more than the crash supports), all the noise dampening has been removed (over 80lbs of that ****), etc...
No roll cage, no metal cut. Just front and rear solid steel crash supports (over 40lbs total) replaced with a 5lb aluminum bar on both.

The SVT and SES auto models were the heaviest at 2650lbs. Mine is a base S 3 door hatch with manual locks, manual windows, no A/C, just base model and it was 2440lbs when I weighed it stock with the gas light on. It doesn't have the sunroof, no rear sway bar, etc... all those things add up.
so my intial guess based on what I did to my Tiburon was pretty spot on, 200 Ibs roughly

well thats fun. My gfs brothers co-worker had a base model 07 focus. he swapped the motor for an 03 SVT one because he destroyed the stocker.
Well he decided to turbo it and this is all with his daddys money mind you. Its an aluminum block so it cant handle tooo much boost. He set his boost to just over 20Ibs.... Blew the **** up immediately with his Ebay turbo kit, lol.
I wish I had known that he knew nothing about cars or I would have warned him immediately not to over boost that motor.
He tricked his dad into buying him a 2011 Mustang 5.0 now...
