welp that time arrived and i raced my friends SVT focus. i had all kinds of junk (sidemount, tools, 5quarts of oil, gallon of water, ratchet set, ice chest, i mena all kinds of junk) in the backseat/trunk and 2 people in the front seat and he was alone. We headed out to the usual racespot and he honked 3 times we were off he put about a car on me off the start and by 3rd gear i was ahead and pulling strong. by 105 when i shut down in 4th gear he was about 2-3 cars back. so we turned around and went again. i noticed my temp was going up so i was a little concerned but we went anyway. off the line he got about 2 cars this time and i missed 3rd putting him about another car ahead but i pushed forward and he missed 5th and by 115 i had 2 cars on him. very suprised how quick that bastard is out of the hole. also reminded me that i am never racing from a stop again. stinkin FWD. he complimented me on how sweet the turbo sounded when i was passing him. that car was no slouch it just didnt have any top end. i think the cold weather was also another factor against me off the line but i still won so.

svt
I bought a svt this winter while i was building my engine, and all i can say is the little thing is spunkey. Last week i raced my friends 98 gs+ t , we raced twice and i bumped rev the first race and he pulled away a little from me but the second race i took him about about a car lenth or more the whole time. granted we got to get his car tuned better and running higher psi I was happy. He was a little pissed he spent 2400 bucks on the hahn turbo kit and a little focus beat him

it was a friend and his gf sitting in the front seat. she was sitting on his lap with the seat leaned back. why because they wanted to go for a ride around the block to hear what the 1gbov sounded like and my backseat was full of shit so she sat on his lap as it was only gunna be a ride around the neighborhood. then the focus pulled up and my friend was telling me i needed to race him so i said sure why not.xeclipsex said:
blow me troll.
it seems like his gears are really short seeing as he was in 5th at 105+ and i was just barely into 4th gear at 115.

It's OK, Dan......jealousy rears its ugly head.
them focus' are []Dotent. I was blowing down old rt. 33 going home at 110 - 115 mph, and the road is kinda twisty, and very few people even try to go half that fast, and the little bitch just passed me on a downhill, and was out of site.
he must have been doing 120+
