SVT Focus Autocross

Ride shotgun as I compete with my SVT focus at a Porsche Club of America Autocross event. I did failry well that day...beat a lot of faster cars, I think I placed near the top ten out of about 40 cars. If you haven't tried autocross you should, this is what it looks like froma driver perspective, lots of fun!

SVT's suck. I have one. Once 80k miles hit, it was in the shop weekly. Never, ever get one.

92k on mine, track days, autocrosses, dragstrips, daily driver...no major mechanical failures to date. Its a poor workman that blames his tools. You should take better care of yoru car.

Some advise as I also autox an SVT. Keep it in 2nd. Dont down shift. The Getreg tranny is perfect for autox you dont need to downshift and loose time. If you dont believe me, next time you go out run without downshifting and run with downshifting and see which is faster. Great save.

DRIVE IT!!!!! GJ, NICE SAVE

I love all the domestic haters, there living back in the 70's. Iv owned an FC RX-7, 2 pick-ups (1 domestic, 1 import) and i currently have a 02 SVT and it is about 10x more fun to drive then the RX. My SVT is lowered, with upgrated frt/rear sways and when i can take an on ramp that says 30 kph @ 100kph mid apex, id say its a pretty wicked car.

I recently got an 04 SVT Focus in sonic blue of course the best color lol I've been wanting to get into autocross. Is the svt focus a good car for it? Eventually ill have a car purely setup for autox but i want to get good at it with a regular car first before i dump tons of money into a project
