Best bang for the buck??
The N20 Saleen Focus...anyone seen it?? Im not a fan of the Focus but the results look good. Comes with Nos.... Ive seen car's coming stock with a supercharger but never Nos... 1st to do this?
Funny how the resale value for the SRT-4 is Low.. lol

The N20 Focus is an exciting, new edition to the Saleen line-up. It is THE answer to those performance-minded buyers seeking an eye-catching compact car packing tremendous performance at an amazingly affordable price. It delivers agile, nimble performance combined with distinctive European rally car styling, along with a flexible and spacious interior for friends and “gear.” It is the only nitrous-compatible car offered in the marketplace.
This Saleen-proven nitrous system offers performance assurance
over aftermarket “bolt on” kits.

yeah here's the catch though.
they simply install the nitrous system. as soon as you hook up the bottle, you just voided your warranty.

look at the new mitsu Eclipse its packing some horsepower as well
As for me I would go with an STI based on the fact that indeed the resale value is low. I would buy used.. Can pick them up for 27 grand a year old. Also they are very relaible.. My heart can egt past the horrible looks

Ford crap or not, resale of the focus is not as bad as say a neon. My Ford has a real high resale value

Rep Power: 374 Eh if I had to buy a focus, id get an svt and toss some simple bolt ons for it. that n2o is just a retarded concept imo; they ruined the saleen name with that one.

Rep Power: 0 Yea I don't get why buy a car from a dealer that comes with Nos and when you hook it up you void your warrenty? I think they will get sales cause its a saleen...which is fast but I dont think anyone will get the option of the Nos

Depends, you can get a supercharger if you want, supercharged>>than same engine N/A. Saleen has simply seen that many people will pay for cars that look different, so they are accomidating those people with wierd body kits and all that. Rosch does the same, stage 1 Rosch is nothing more than a body kit, shifter, CIA , exshaust and an awefull two stage wing. But people buy it, so give people what ever they want to buy, it's a business.
As for the Nitrous thing, they are using Holley brand nitrous on it, so yes it is actually NOS, at least the one I saw in SCC about 6 months ago.

hmm, a 61/39 front weight bias and its still FWD...........and its an ugly *** FORD FOCUS.
im sorry but If I want any kind of performance car it had better be RWD, or at the very least AWD. FWD and sporty/performance just dont go together in my mind. And yes I know someone will point out how well the Integra Type-R handles....

Rep Power: 318 Only saleen I would own would be an S7....
And still than I would buy a carrera GT over it!
hey s2000man the SRT-4 is not nearly as bad around the corners as people are saying. This things are armed with tokico HP blue shocks and striff strut bars.. Its an alla round performer...so what if its true spirit is in a straight line
I have seen mustang GTs wipe prosche 911's around track at leguna secca.
simple truth no replacement for torque ever!

Rep Power: 0 all the Saleen Focus has is big brakes, NO2 tank, body kit, and Alpine radio... you can buy a focus and all those parts and it would be cheaper than the saleen
