Monaro LS2 6.0 Supercharged, did have 2 but one had a bigger supercharger. Something around 550ish hp, never put it on the rollers to find out.

I am not suggesting the Focus belongs on there. I thinks others may be though.

Sorry I've not owned anything powerful enough to qualify for this thread. As I've never reached the PH mandatory 300hp.

Is it called " I drove through Halfords and look how much stuff got stuck to my car" ?
Try buying an original M-Sport body kit from Halfords, Tarox 6 pot brakes, Group A Escort Cosworth Speedline wheels, GT28 roller bearing turbo, Omex ECU, etc etc ...build cost of over £55,000, this was no Halfrauds special!

If you knew anything about Ford Focus's you'd know this car!

Owned: C5 A6 V8, 300bhp. Current daily driver, also sounds suitably decent with no back boxes biggrin
Driven: Holden Commodore Clubsport R8 (or GTS as they're badged over here), that was dyno'd at 370bhp.

Think my dad trumps me on driven, he had a Bentley Continental of some form into his garage for MOT, so he took it for a test drive to experience all 550bhp or whatever daft amount it's got.

I don't think anyone doubts it's had lots of money spent on it. Just looks like it's all been spent at Halfords.

Corvette Z06 that I had supercharged by John Lingenfelter. It put down 725 hp on the dyno, so it was probably a little over 800 hp.

400bhp Ford Focus....



Ah I remember that Focus from the old days smile

That's one of 3 Focus, that made me go a bit mad on the engine tuning side on my own FRS hehe

Always wondered what happened to it. Did it end up overseas in the end?

I sold it to a guy from Copenhagen....Last I heard was that he couldn't get it registered over there because it was too modified! That was 3 years ago now so I have no idea where it is now.

There's another thread for cars like that... nono
let me guess.

Call yourselves car fans and don't recognise a 2003/5 Focus WRC replica?
