They were asked to leave R u serious. That's BS. you build a fast car and get shunned for it.

Musta been one hopped up 5.0

But, blowers and turbos, they both are technically boosters of the displacment. So, that argument isn't valid

well, if you want to get into semantics then sure, they increase effective but not actual displacement.

The 5.0 in the Focus wasn't really that hot. I believe it was still in a very streetable, under 500 hp range. The biggest factor would probably be that the Focus doesn't weigh nearly as much as the Marlon Brando-esque Mustang whale wagon.

Add to that a good four link setup in the rear with 4.11s and you've got a really really really fast car.

The Focus? That thing wasn't too hot. I don't think it even had 300 horses, did it? Just the swap and RWD. It would be quite interesting if the RWD NorthStar will fit inside of a saturn. And there's a company that makes 500+ h.p. kits for 'em too.
