Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / March 2007Putting in a bigger engine
I want a Focus that will go from 0-60 in less than seven seconds. I was wondering, how big of an engine would I need to get that and could I get Ford to do it for me under these 'build your own' things? Would this be expensive? >I want a Focus that will go from 0-60 in less than seven seconds.

You're better off doing it on your own with mates who knows stuff about engines.

Simpler way would be to buy a Focus ST. Official figures 0-62mph in 6.8sec from a 2.5L 225ps engine.

Would be easier to buy a used Focus RS or the recent ST should although cut it, iirc.

The RS is not a car for the average driver :) -Nick > On Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:03:30 +0100, Michael Heiming > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -Nick i.e not a cypriot ;) >> On Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:03:30 +0100, Michael Heiming >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >i.e not a cypriot ;) ..an Englishman, an American, or a Greek. When you sit behind the wheel of the RS you must know what you're doing. I've seen people buy it and sell it in 3 months time. -Nick > On 27 Feb 2007 11:05:18 -0800, "Paul Johnson" > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > -Nick I give you gud price. >> On 27 Feb 2007 11:05:18 -0800, "Paul Johnson" >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >I give you gud price. I may have fooled you, but my english is not that good... I didn't understand a thing :) -Nick On Feb 25, 7:31 am, iwhtcimtlfmwmaom...@yahoo.com wrote: > I want a Focus that will go from 0-60 in less than seven seconds.
