ZX3 Focus That is ! Looks sporty and gos like it's on fire! Lots of room for my long legs (I drive 65 miles one way to work)and even my gear. What realy surprised me is all the after market stuff available for it. I think a ram air and a chip are in order here. Should take the 130 HP to around 145 HP!------------------ WAYNE CURTIS 70 GRABBER GREEN BOSS 302 01 Focus ZX3 "Spicy" 92 SHELBY 4X4 (K-9 IDITAROD LEAD DOG) http://www.volstate.net/~blackoak/stormwatch.html "If your under control then your not going fast enough" P.

And that smell! Funny thing about the 60/40 seat backs. The seat cushion folds forward before you can fold the backs forward.But the seat cushion is one piece!? ------------------ WAYNE CURTIS 70 GRABBER GREEN BOSS 302 01 Focus ZX3 "Spicy" 92 SHELBY 4X4 (K-9 IDITAROD LEAD DOG) http://www.volstate.net/~blackoak/stormwatch.html "If your under control then your not going fast enough" P.

Mines a medium red and I just took it on a ROAD TRIP! 190 miles each way down one of America's most scenic roads,The Seward Highway. Lots of curves and long straighaways! The car has a 140 mph speed o and now I know why. Lets just say Triple didgets! Great manuvering around turns and speed too. She got 32.5 mph at those speeds and the seats (referanced in that artical) were not to bad. I even hauled two coolers full of fresh Halibut home on Saturday night.------------------ WAYNE CURTIS 70 GRABBER GREEN BOSS 302 01 Focus ZX3 "Spicy" 92 SHELBY 4X4 (K-9 IDITAROD LEAD DOG) http://www.volstate.net/~blackoak/stormwatch.html "If your under control then your not going fast enough" P.
