not really on the same line but...obviously you all know about the "land speed" record for the focus on the salt flats or whatever. it was like 144 or somethin right? well dont the SVT's do like 148 or so?! and what would 1turbofocus' top speed be or would it still be limited to a lil about the governed top speed? i am just wonderin...

tom is da man!

i raced him in epping last year and ended up 'running out' because i heard that mean s.o.b. coming!

outstanding setup and driver ... not to mention a helluva nice guy!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">If im not mistaken, tom has 4.06 gears and some short ass slicks. He may top out around 130ish with smaller tires and shorter gears.

 

[P.]

car and driver says that the top speed of an SVT is 131. But we all know that car and driver is 99% full of it when it comes to performance numbers, since they don't really know how to drive.... should be called car and author!

It's not really a Focus anymore when the only thing left Focus wise is the Body and Interior.

Albeit retarded fast, I don't think a RWD, Turbo Pinto powered Focus can be put in the same league as a FWD, Turbo Zetec Focus.

[Bimmerman9]

in theory though i would think tom's car is closer to street legal than joes.plus i think the question was meant toward the stock size engine too

 

[plyaprezident]

LOL yes in theory its still a focus

 

[BowDown]

Toms car has full interior, full body...

Its a stock focus with a massaged motor & tranny that both started life in a stock focus.

Not something that was been totally recreated for draging.

I'm not sure where it will stop but mine has seen 135 a couple of times and still pulling. It is hard to get a good "safe" spot to do it.

I am going to try again and I'll get the GPS out for photo purposes.
