nice driving man.

i've got an 04 SVTf, such a fun car.

[pretty00lights]

wow that circuit looks fantastic.

Do I hear the whine of a roots supercharger on that SVT?

[mysvtftoy]

You do indeed.

[hipnaughtic]

Very cool. I've always loved the sound of roots superchargers. I'm considering buying a Focus SVT. How reliable has yours been?

[ojd1990]

it really depends how you take care of them. But if you get one try to find a clean 03-04

[hipnaughtic]

Actually I bought a 2002, it had really low mileage, 74000kms. I really like it. The 6-speed is tight but a little notchy, otherwise a great running car. I hope to start an SVT collection this coming summer by adding a Cobra!

[ojd1990]

ya they are very nice and fun to drive. good luck with the Cobra. They're hard to find

@hipnaughtic i just bought a sonic blue 2002 with 30450 miles on the clock

@hipnaughtic dude its not a civic si ill tell u that for sure. part of the problem is that ford didnt really address all of the issue with the car before it went on sale. so it has some problems that are found on all SVTFs like the common rpm drop or stalling.

@hipnaughtic This one definitely sounds supercharged. Although some focus's do whine a little. I have an '07 SE coupe that does. And i know its not supercharged and never has been lol. I bought it brand new. I really want an SVT now. I wish i had have bought one instead of the one I have now.
