er.. focus zx3, boo on you!

So I'm just driving along minding my own business, in my basically stock EX coupe, when some bright blue focus hatch with a GIANT aluminum wing sticking up from the roof of the car pulls next to me and starts to rev. I look over and it's this huge hispanic dude with a girl in the passenger's seat looking at me giving the "wussup, I'm more hardcore than you" nod. I just rev at him and wait for the light. I dump it at between 3000 and 3500rpm, and from then on, I'm basically gone. He was pretty close throughout 1st, I pulled away on 2nd, he caught up a bit on 3rd, but only for a short time, and by then I was long gone. I think it was the overwhelming downforce from his spoiler that made it hard for him to keep his front wheels on the ground [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

All the tests I have read about the Focus show that the car only has 121hp, not the 130 anounced. I have beaten several stock foci with my stock auto EX, which is proof of how good the little Honda engine is. It beats 2.0 liter engines or at least its as fast as them.

I think I have beat the same guy before, driving along 610. Could be another yellow focus.
