    I dont know what you are talking about then lol

    There is a model of the focus that doesnt look like the focus we have over here in europe. It is the Focus ST. I makes about 230 stock and is RWD (I think it is?) I believe. The motor that is in it is the same one or simlar to the one that mikey had in his S60R before he blew it up.

    THE FOCUS THAT IS IN THE US IS BUILT ON THE SAME PLATFORM AS ANYWHERE ELSE, IT WAS ONE OF FORDS "WORLD CARS", THEY ARE THE SAME EVERYWHERE.. AS FAR AS OUTPUT, THERE IS NO RWD FOCUS MADE FROM FACTORY, AND EVEN COSWORTH VARIANTS ARE AWD. I HAVE SEEN A FEW CUSTOM JOBS AND THEY ARE A LOTTA FUN TO DRIVE I WILL TELL YA THAT LOL..

    WHAT MOTOR DID MIKEY HAVE, I'M BETTING IT WAS A C30 5 BANGER (WHICH IS IN THE NEWER VOLVOS AND EUROPEAN FOCUS) OR THE T5 VERSION

    I am not sure what motor mikey had. It was the one that comes stock in the S60Rs.

    This is the car I speak of...

    I think we are thinking of the same body style, but the one you are talking about has a bigger motor lol
