ok, so i was driving down the road today and a ford focus (looked like stock) pulled up next to me and asked if i was going to be at the track on sunday (which i am going to be). What do they have under the hood (stock zx2) could he beat me? I am a pretty good racer....i don't know about him....by the way, i have an aem cai, dc header, tanabe r spec...what do you think?

Don't worry. The focus is slower than our civics. You even have the intake, headers, exhaust...you'll smoke him like nothing. Make sure you don't mess up when you shift.
Good luck.

Um no. It depends is it a 3 door hatch or 4 door? they both will beat the civic. They have more rated horsepower and torque and they weigh about the same. If he has a SVT, then prepared to get smoked.

Maybe if you tell him he has an ugly car and get him nervous he'll miss a shift or something.

Man, why are you trying to scare the guy? Don't worry about it homie, you'll beat him. That car sucks. He doesn't even have a tach.
