Imagine if we had road-going versions of these, and an LS, or LT-powered RWD Cruize? I'm sure we'd all get over the loss of Falcon and Commodore quite easily. I've been secretly hoping they woukd do something similar.

Who would need a C63?

Kind of odd hearing it race by and not seeing a Falcon!

Yeah the Mustang looks too good, I want something that blends in more with all the econoboxes. I'm kidding around, don't kill me.

Just imagine if you could buy a Kit or have a Focus built as a high end exotic V6 or V8 RWD car.....

that thing hauls. Not bad for a standard crate motor. It would be a pretty good little economical series to run if they built a few of them. What trans and rear axles are they runnning?

Cool Re: Coyote-powered Focusseses (Focii?)
Back in the eighties they had the same thing in South Africa
they called it an XR8 it was a Ford Sierra with the 5litre Windsor fitted
last I read was they banned them because they were unbeatable

These are 500 hp not 650. I was there and they are super quick. If Supercars went this way I would be happy. Very good bit of kit. Pretty freekin orsm actually. They are still sorting them. Slightly twitchy in the rear. Looked.fast as with Seton on board
