Focus St

[93blacktruck]

Well today i went and picked up a new dd and love it. Thanks Beefcake

[Stangman]

looks great!! So that's an ST right? What's special about those again?

[mwaller5672]

I bought one a couple of months ago. the only thing I wish I had got was the microsoft stuff. Yea beefcake. After we bought the new one we gave my daughter the gold one. Her front tire went off the road and she over steered and hit a tree. She couldn't get the car in park so she got out anyway. Thought the car was on fire. Dropped her iphone. The car started rolling. It rolled over her iphone. Then it went 200 feet through the woods and in a creek. They gave me 7100 for the car. I tried to get extra tires but couldn't find any. I had brand new tires on it. It's still sitting there. She didn't have a scratch so I was happy

270....WOW! What's the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?

[Kevin1989]

270....WOW! What's the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?

Think 0-60 was under 7 seconds largely dependent on traction... Or the lack of

[04 Venom]

The ST is a LOT of car for the money.

[cstreu1026]

I'm digging the ST myself and am considering one for a daily driver because 4 doors makes it a lot more kid friendly than my Mini and the new Mini Countryman I want comes in at $10k more.

[furiouslyfaster]

Nice car man sometimes I miss my focus but I like my mustang. However a new focus ST like yours would be nice :) Congrats

[bobtsgt]

saw you running around in it lately. lets start the modding :D

[93blacktruck]

What are you thinking bob

[Walter]

Bob is thinking ported head, custom cams and a turbo/fuel system upgrade.

[bobtsgt]

hehe start off with the basics. Nice intake to help it breathe a lil easier. At the least a K&N drop in

[Walter]

Disable the wastegate control and throw some Q16 in the tank.

[duststang]

I really like the color and been waiting for to come out. I bet it runs really good wonder if it runs evo or sti good?

It's a very fun car to drive!!

[rtvickers]

Nice ride congrats! The first mod I would do is to bring that black truck in your avitar to my house so you could more seat time in the whip. Lol.

[Katmandu]

It's a very fun car to drive!!You think it's comfortable enough to serve as a long range highway commuter car ?

What's the real world Highway MPGs ?

I rented a regular Focus for a long trip--very comfortable.

[93blacktruck]

i'm not sure i had a nail in the tire when i got the car and i'm waiting to get the car back from them.

[cobraman302]

How much do these little dudes weigh?

[93blacktruck]

3,223 lbs. that is what one web site said.....

[Gene]

3,223 lbs. that is what one web site said.....

Seriously? That's one way to negate the 252hp.

The old Focus SVT was 2700lbs w/ 170hp.

[93blacktruck]

I will have to look when I get my car back tomorrow

Was that the 2 door or 4 door version? The ST's only come in 4 doors.

Regardless, the old SVT was a maxed out NA motor whereas this is probably a corked up boosted motor. I'm sure there is way more room to grow on the ST.

[cobraman302]

not far away from a stang.

That's why I asked. 300lbs away from my Fusion Sport with a 3.5 V6 with the same hp. That's a heavy Focus. They use to weight in at about 2600-2700 lbs for a 4 door. But, that torque is where it's at, in overboost mode.

[cstreu1026]

All teh electronic and gov. mandated BS really add up quickly in terms of weight.

[93blacktruck]

I think I might head up to the Milford car show Friday if it's not raining.

[Gene]

Exactly. I'm not trying to dog the new ST...it's cool as hell. The whole idea of a compact hatchback weighing 3300lbs kind of sucks though. It means that for trackday use it's going to be just as brutal on tires and brakes as a Mustang.

Horsepower makes you go faster in a straight line, but less weight makes you faster everywhere.

[CNTLOSE]

Very sharp. If the Cobra would ever sell it would be between this and the Fusion Ecoboost.

[cobraman302]

Just out of curiosity, what made you go with this over the mazdaspeed3? The speed3 has the same size, more hp/tq same 4 door hatchback, same weight, proven turbod motor, and can pick a used one up reasonably priced. The big difference I can see is the fuel mileage, fairly sizable difference there I believe.

[93blacktruck]

to tell you the truth i really like the way the st looked over the speed.

Ford designed the ST suspension to eliminate the heavy torque steer that afflicts the Mazda Speed.

I'd agree with the comparison to the new speed3's. And good to know about the torque steer.

[slow86fiveoh]

What motor is in those cars

[Black92LX]

Wow, did not realize they were so heavy.
Only 400 lbs lighter that the Escape 2.0 Ecoboost I just ordered.

Haven't driven the ST but it has to be a hoot to drive considering how fun the Escape is to drive.
