The Meguiar's Ford Focus, built by Nuformz Inc of Ontario, produces between 800-1000 horsepower out of a 4 cylinder Zetec Ford powerplant. It's full carbon fibre body and tube frame chassis weighs in at about 1250 lbs. Providing most of the power is a huge titanium spooled turbo by HKS.

Ford dropped everyone's funding, that's why Nelson Hoyos is not driving the 7 second Yellow Focus any more and has switched to a Cavalier.
Its why you won't see the Esslinger ZX2 in action any more.

Its friggin retarded.

FORD is stupid, they want to be big in the aftermarket with this stupid focus and show honda who is boss, but then they wont fund some of the fastest FOCI in the world, NUCKING FUTS....oh well

so he is running a pinto engine right?

i recall some mags saying that ford stop funding on the project and that resulted in the change of engine.

not to mention that the car looks completely different now with a new paint scheme and a different wing (changed due to some issues with downforce...or sumthin).

It is a pinto motor. Shaun gave up with the Zetec. Man, dont ever beleive what you read in magazines. In one article he said he was making 800 HP. Reality? try 450.<hr></blockquote>

I heard the same thing from my buddy at Edelbrock.. The Pinto blocks can really make a lot of power. There are plenty of dirtrack racers running 225 plus NA with the 2.3 liters...

I read this thread and thought -- Pinto? Pinto?? Pinto?!?!?! You mean like my 74 3-door Pinto I had in college??? I should scan a pic I have of that car and post it.....pretty hilarious.

But it lasted for 5 yrs of hard driving, until the radiator got messed up and I had some $$$ and got rid of it. DARN, should have sold it to someone wanting a strong 4-banger block!!

Thanks for bringing back all those memories of being scared of rear-end collisions!!

I could have swore that I had a Magazine at home showing the Meguires Focus with the 2.3L SVO/Thunderbird Engine (Pinto does sound Ghey).

The engine is Single Cam and is mounted transverse to the Focus Engine.

I will try to look tonight when I get home, but I am almost positive it ain't no Zetec no more?
