It is faster than the svt but the same price, do some body work, and some customizing and you have a good looking decently fast car but not bad! I'll sell ya mine I have ALOT of stuff done to mine and still some parts i bought last winter i still haven't put on and alot more. Send me a PM and we can chat I have a bunch of pictures to, and by the way mine will keep up with a SVT no problem
let me know.

Its funny how everyone exagerates their height online. It seems like 90% of people on ANY car forum are between 6'4 and 6'8". I meen realy im 6'5" and only about 1-2% of the pop is as tall or taller than me.

The 2.3 will not be faster than an SVT and won't handle as well.

don't make me whip the camera and tape measure out
I am between 6'2" and 6'3" so i rounded up. anyways YES I do beg to differ that the 2.3 is gonna be faster than the svt for the simple fact that i did drive one. They have 2 ZX3's and a 4 door here at the local dealership and my buddy works there. My best friend has a SVT and the 2.3 does seem much quicker than the SVT but who knows that is my 2 cents but it's still a focus don't waste your money buy a SRT-4 for the smae price. my thoughts!

The 2.3 has 150 hp with 150 lbs. tq. The SVT has 170 hp with 145 lbs. tq. I'm not an expert at this stuff but I don't think the 5 lbs. of torque will make of for the 20 less hp. correct me if I'm wrong. It may just seem quicker because it has more torque.
Yeah thats true i'm honestly not worried about it. it's still a focus and I know mine is quicker than the 2.3 and it can keep up with a svt in the quarter but the svt has more top end than I do. I wanna get rid of this. it looks good but it's too damn slow. time for a supra I think
