I am considering this to be a option.....i wonder if it will be limited.

StreetLancer

I'd say wait... simply because you KNOW that the Focus will now be supercharged, and SVT will probably do it. You'd be looking at a Focus with over 200 ponies, and, well, that's alot for that small car. Just my opinion.

nyclancer

yeah but the focus is F'Ugly and the Mazda is nice...

The thing is...that engine has no internal mods done and its probably being pushed to the max. I read something about it so far and it was reviewed ....It got a "good bang for the buck" review.... I dunno well see.

StreetLancer

Looks aside, if you're talking pure performance, a SC'd Focus by SVT would be outstanding... and relatively inexpensive. Look at what they did with the recently SC'd Cobra... near Z06 performance at bargain basement prices.

But, who knows, predicting what execs will do, and what they will do with there car designs is like trying to pick the winning lotto numbers out of a hat.

aside from the seats that interior is nice

what about the turbo SRT dodge???? over 200 hp and under $20k....doesn't look that bad either..

nyclancer

its still a neon...atleast mazda has built up a good name for their Eco Cars...neon is still a ****box.

Score

The thing with that Mazda is that it can outhandle most cars on the road. My friend has a Mp3, throwing that around corners at high speeds has never been so fun. Adding a turbo also gives you all sorts of options in the mods category. If I didnt hate FWD with a passion, Id get one. Bleh, they look so nice.

yeah when i read about this car they said the handling suffered a little due to the increase in more power, but i bet MANY MANY companys would come out with aftermarket parts..

Doesn't Jackson Racing have an super for the SVT Focus? Although the power gains from it are not worth the cash according to most.

StreetLancer

Yes, I think they do, but, I'd imagine that the SVT version would be gobs cheaper installed... But, who knows?

Thing about the Neon being a "****box"... there are rumors that the SRT Neon will be based off of our own Lancer platform. Just what I've heard, so, if you've heard different...

nyclancer

Mazda is known for making great machines.......Dodge hasn't had a good wrap as of late...

RaX

The NEXT generation Lancer and Neon will be based off the same platform. And that probably won't be till 2005 or later...

nyclancer

I'm going to my local dealer to see what they say about this mazdaspeed....


Hey Rock what do u think about this car?

nyclancer

Only problem i read about for this car was a ****load of torque steer.
