Today coming home from Calgary, I saw this Ford Focus coming up behind me, and when it passed me, It had a saleen bumper. I never knew that Saleen made a focus! :barf:

It had this big ass blue decal "tear" going from the hood all the way down the passenger door.

I think you can get it with NOS as an option, that's what the ** is for. :thumbsdow Not my kind of style.

I don't know if they are in production yet? I thought it was just a concept! maybe it is just a focus with a bodykit?

It's on the site, and for sale, So I guess they are.

N20 Focus. Interesting little tuner car with factory warranty.

Quarter Mile Times
15.8@87mph
14.0@96mph on the juice

That's pretty impressive imo. Being a saleen, it'll master the corners pretty good to...

Saw one near the Talisman Center last night, yellow with blue graphic. Looked pretty cool, but I'd rather have the other stuff that Saleen produces.

Is this the famous Yellow Focus with the blue graphics and ground effects kit down in the Millrise area?

That's not a genuine saleen......the kit is West Wings....

Well, i was yellow with a blue decal, and the spoiler looks like it has 2 layers to it, if you get what I'm saying.

Looked like the genuine Saleen kit to me, even said "Saleen" on the rear bumper.

Possibly the Yellow Focus that was at the V8-less show last year ?? A big sound system and a body kit...and little else.


:dunno:

^ Hmm, I dunno, I wasn't at V8less last year. I hope it's not some poser, anyway.

Who would make knockoff kits that have the Saleen logo, though? Wouldn't that be illegal?

It's very possible the car you saw has had a genuine Saleen kit added .Advantage Ford sells the Saleen built car,but as far as I know,they haven't sold any.

From the specs:

Nitrous Ready - Direct Port Nitrous 75-hp Wet System with 10-lb Nitrous Bottle

My assumption is, they give you everything you need, except filling up the bottle. After they turn the car over, how and when the nitrous is used is the responsibility of the owner. :dunno: At least that's the gist I get.
