Not the same car. I think the first rear wheel is with the V-8 conversion kit.
Yes it's a real kit!

I don't like the looks of it, and I wouldn't own one. But I hate econoboxes as a rule, anyway. But it is kicking the imports butt, and that's a good thing. ------------------

OK! It may be a Cheeby but.... driving my 65 last week, a guy pulls up at lite in an early S-10. He looked at me and smiled. I said, Is that what I think??? Yep!! He launched across the intersection with probably a 350 and it was great!! Wouldn't want it but am open minded to others idea of fun!

LOL, mellowyellow, there is a fella in the area who crammed a 350 into an old nissan pickup. Thing runs 15s! LOL. On the other end of the spectrum though, there is a guy I constantly see at MIR who runs an old dodge raider with a 350 in her. And that little truck turns out low 13sec 1/4mi times. Kinda surprised me since it doesn't really make much noise. I've seen some crazy stuff in my area...there was that 85 diplomat with a hopped up 383....imagine pulling up to a light and having an old diplimat camming away at you wanting to race. At first I laughed....then I cried  . lol.------------------

 The SVT Focus can legitimately challenge the Civic, Integra and Celica. The 170-bhp/145 lb.-ft. 2.0L Zetec engine produces 85% of peak torque at 2200 rpm. Interior features include titanium-faced gauges, six-way adjustable front seats, and metal pedals. New exterior body panels, and polished chrome exhaust tip distinguish the SVT Focus from lesser models. Production is limited to approximately 7,500 vehicles for 2002. Hey SCOOP like this on a Soon to be released ZX5
