The SVT Focus is horrible.

Slow as hell, looks better than the original Focus, but its too damn slow. See pic attached.


If the matrix was an XR or XRS, and he was driving stick, then he could be doing better. Unless you have mods, the Matrix is not a slow car... I think it's only .4 seconds slower than the C230, or maybe even.

No, wait. You have the 190 HP inline-4 spourts coupe. That should have been a very very close race.

This is my fav. focus, but in the end, it is just a POS ford.

the driver seemed pretty good. there was no wheelspin, but maybe there should have been. Shifts were quick with a quick chirp. The Matrix was the XRS
