Saleen had a N2O version in the last Focus Fanatic magazine, basically lightweight engine performance improvements and a dry shot of nitrous. There was a raft of handling / braking upgrades, and the obvious body kit install as well, badging etc etc.

Kinda looks like that. I believe they used a Zex kit so it only worked above a certain RPM and at WOT.

Isn't the new '05 focus a 150HP duratec?

in which case, this car's just spiffier looking.

Check ebay...they have plenty of spoilers on there for dirt cheap. But I do believe you are right about the duratec. I think its a 2.3L Duratec.

Nope, it's the 136HP 2.0L Duratec. The only Focus in North America with the 2.3L from the factory is the Focus ZX4 ST (151HP).
