when you add weight to a neon, performance goes out the window

sorry to admit it bro but i live here in LA and i liked scion tc's at first but everyone has one its ridiculous. i bought my svt focus because there is like only 4 in the valley ive seen. i see like a hundred scion tc a day

Yo anyways The SVT Is electronically limited I have an 03 SVT And I only have a chip in it And I had it up to 160 mph Let's see your scion do that

Haha dude since when did the new scion Tc come with 180whp haha that's the crank rating man!! I used to own an 00 ZX3 and I put a lot of people in their place with that car lol I own a SVT Coutour and now 07 Si half built and TUNED lets try that Scion against me!! Lol

I just bought this same SVT Focus about two months ago. It ran good when I bought it, it runs even better now. Ford lists the 170 HP Focus SVT at 2,590 pounds. The 6-speed gearing is unreal. It drops only 800-1000 RPM on the shifts. The SVT is in the power band at all times. In fact, 80 MPH is still 3500 RPM while those other 5 or 6-speeds are loafing along for peak MPG. This SVT is a blast. Check out my video's on my other car, I know what I'm talking about!

@Byronthecarguy And this is 2011...SVT in 2002 had 170 crank..forged internals, dual stage intake, and vvt on the exhaust cam. So basicaly your saying it took your 2011 TC 9 years to catch up. And say good by to your TC when the 2012 Focus ST comes out ;) SVT Foci were made for 3 years... limited edition and production run and kicking ass on autocross and road coarses. I love turbo TC....but love my SVT Focus more for lift off oversteer, trailbraking, and getting it sideways!

@Byronthecarguy Your Must be getting your MPH and KPH mixed up

[kylesvt720]

@Byronthecarguy You are right, a new Scion TC that has similar specs to an 8 year old SVT Focus should pack it in. Grab a new TC, and I'll grab my 2013 Focus ST as soon as it hits my dealer, (already have a deposit in) and we'll see which is a wannabe car...

@kylesvt720 I dont think anyone cares if you are a Mod on a forum lol Ban Me Please LOL jack ass, I have worked in the automotive industry for a long time I have even worked for Ford and BMW. you dont have to make shit up to save face or try to prove yourself to me. I know my shit and i think its time for wannbe imports to pack it in.

[kylesvt720]

@Byronthecarguy You obviously don't know shit, and I have no clue where you got the SVT Focus top speed, but its not 125. Look at the horsepower and weight numbers you gave, there would be no reason for it to top out at 125. Most magazines rate it at 135-137mph for top speed in their comparison tests.

Mind you I am a moderator on the largest focus forum, and have tested the top speed at a drag strip and hit 139mph (GPS verified) IN a stock SVTF with only a K&N panel filter.
