This is a new one to me.
The Saleen Focus...
-- Think of it as "extremely expensive factory rice" LOL
Saleen Works Its Magic and It’s Much More than Hocus Pocus
The N2O FOCUS
In another move signaling the diversity and expansion of Saleen, Inc., the company has 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.”
All that a Saleen N2O FOCUS needs is a road,
a spirited thought, and You!
“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.
