FocusCanada Forums

hey guys new to the forum and the focus, and just curious to what kinda times we all run in the 1/4mile??

i put down a 15.7 bone stock at luskville, que

16.8 with Magnaflow cat-back exhaust and underdrive pulley. I also had my complete interior in with a hydraulic jack in the trunk.

I hit a 13.9 once, after that consistent 14.5's when I hit the track. Good outside temps and a good launch are all I need to hit 13's again....unfortunatly with the weather lately its not going to help :P

Hey I'm glad you joined the club

Good Luck

My time when I went to the track that nite was garbage I don't know whats wrong cause I ran low 17's twice

When I went to Cayuga in hamilton I ran my best 15.8 and with a passenger I ran low 16

14.9@93mph with svt swap....now my car is more stockish...back to the zetec motor...but I may get some cams and go again soon

I want to go to luskville..... when is the next one???

ive only had the car for 2 weeks now and have been to the track twice!! :D

You must be from Ottawa or the Surrounding area I guess!! In the next three weeks I am off to Barry's Bay, then Focus Annual BBQ, then a wedding in St Thomas the weekend after that!!! Then I might be up for a track day!!!

Doesnt count, its stock, that wont change my time.

Better traction and 40 extra ponies will! :P

On Sunday afternoon (around 3ish), I saw a blue SVT parked in the market, right near the vineyards. I took a picture on my cell and meant to post a "spotted" post... In any case, wondering if that was you... if it was, nice car :)

Edit...

here's the pic...

close.... but nope!

ive been spotted in the orleans area

Dang.... I had such high hopes :)

Ah well, guess I'll check it out at the bbq!!

02_svt_guy: i actually saw you at luskville (one of the week-ends that you went) with a white mk3 golf?.. i was there with a buddy of mine.. you did like 16.0 when i watched (was your first run i think) and we didnt stay that long.. I wish i had my car that night, the conditions were PERFECT.. cool, small breeze.. but, no car... pretty sure you were the only focus down there (did not see any silver svt)

I did 14.7@92mph back in july when it was 35-40ish outside..also at luskville.. I hope to get better times on better days.. will probably go back before winter but im satisfied with 14.7 nontheless at 7.5#

I was hoping you were the guy from gatineau thats building a gt3? turbo setup on his blue svt..
