Close to the same hp 127 for the escort 130 for the focus, but the focus has almost 20 lb/ft of torque more. That might explain something right there.

couldnt some better motor mounts fix this problem?

I replaced all 3 mounts and have limited wheel hop now.

Yep, it's wheel hop. The curse of the one-legged diff.

I think my 98 ZX2 had more power or at least better throttle response than my focus.

I have driven my buddies 2000 zx2 sr with some mods, and still my 2001 focus wagon seems to feel faster . The sr had wheel hop and the wagon didnt. My 2005 duratec gets wheel hop also so it is pretty normal for a fwd car to have it.
