7thGen Civic Vs. Ford Focus

whats up everyone;
Well I have a 03 Civic Ex coupe, 5 speed with an AEM short ram, DC header, and a blitz exhaust with 2 1/4 inch piping. I was just wondering if my car could take an 04 Ford Focus 4 door stock? I think it has about 150hp. Thanks!

I was at a light about a week ago and some idiot pulls up in the most ricey focus I ever saw. 4 door sedan with altezzas and a double stacked wing like 2 feet off the trunk and looks at me reving his engine.The light turned and I owned him,it wasn't even close.You should have no problem.

i use to own a focus... if its a stick its gonna take you off the line you should be able to pull on him in 2nd and 3rd ... and i believe it has 130hp... like i said all its power is bottom end going into second i could make the wheels break loose so its got a good bit more bottom end torque... 1/8mile would be a close race... 1/4mile should give you time to put a at least a half car on him if not a full car on him. theres a fully built focus that races at the track here that runs a low 9 high 8 in the 1/8th... hes got full bolt ons w/ a crower cam, fully gutted ect.

just run him... if its from a roll you should have no problem my focus couldnt move after 80mph ... i never got it over 95mph
