I really never was a fan of the old Mustang but my buddy has an '03 Cobra supercharged dynoing at 525 (I have seen the sheets) with less than 10k miles on it..beautiful and very bad-azz...The new mustang is just OK to me although I almost bought one...The Shelby GT500 is the real deal although you'll never touch one for under $60k and the Shelby GT500KR is due to be out soon and that won't go for less than $100k but will have 540hp...The Focus ST is a joke...It just took the Focus from a 2.0 liter to the 2.3 liter and maybe a lil suspension and appearance as well...I do like the '05 and newer Focuses a lot though, very reliable and awesome on gas...The GT is a supercar and freakin awesome with 550 hp...I never liked anything about the Ranger trucks other than the 4.0 liter V-6 that gives them over 200hp in a light truck...I love the rest of the Ford vehicles and all Ford trucks although Ford Motor Company messed up when they did away with the 7.3 liter diesel motor in the Super Duties and haven't had a decent diesel motor since that.

What this country really needs, is the European line of Fords. The Focus RS.......YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

The reliabilty, technology, and quality of our vehicles has gone through the roof since then...Here's one general rule about vehicles and think about this for a sec; they are made out of THOUSANDS of moving parts and something is going to break on a car no matter what make it is...Vehicles that are massed produced and being sold faster than are made like the Toyotas, their quality control is going to be poor cuz the manufacturer is trying to hurry and get these cars to the dealerships to be sold so they can make their money in a hurry..Toyota is just thinking about themselves now rather than their customers of the future...Ford is opposite and has been spending a lot more of their time since the new CEO in 2004 focusing on quality and making sure their customer is taken care of now.

We had the Focus ST here...I physically touched it and drove it.

Post a pic of the one you are thinking of. Im sure they are different.

I can't now unless we get one in used cuz the '07's are about extinct now as far as new and  Ford totally redesigned the Focus for 2008 which now are either a 2 door coupe S,SE, or SES or a 4 door sedan S,SE, or SES and you can get both in a stick at least. But our Focus ST is probably different than yours over there I'm sure.

The european focus st is turbo w/ abt 230hp and i am not sure but i thinks its awd, badass car.

Here Sebbz:  '07 Focus ST the American version....

Standard Engine:
2.3L I4, 16 valve, 151 hp @ 5750 rpm
