I think he did spend a lot of time and money to that car, so you should thing he drives it carefully.

T-Bird 09-25-2004 09:35 PM

you can build one of those for around $55k USD not that bad actually considering how fast it is. Ford even sells the kits to make it fit and turn it to RWD.

^the RS8???^

T-Bird 09-25-2004 11:39 PM

yeah that's what it would cost to build it yourself.
And considering you could get a 351 like that Focus had cheaper than a Cammer which the RS8 had.
The one I saw the guy said he spent about $60K since he had to fit the Twin Turbos in there aswell.

The kits to convert it to RWD are readily sold, no welding involved IIRC. So it won't be that crazy on costs.....

Saw this the other day on a ford focus owners club forum. I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!!!!! :wink:
It's hillarious hearing that rumbling beasts tickover eminate from a focus! Fooking awsome tho! Its got an auto box tho aint it? Shame really. And it looks a little high off the ground with a very large overall wheel/tyre diameter.

you can build it for a lot cheaper than that... the kit is only around 5k...

get yourself a junker, a motor, and a trans, and you're all set.


this guy only used a pushrod motor too... you could def go nuts with the $$$... but he certainly didn't.
