It also feels drastically different in acceleration than the last 2.0L Duratec sedan I drove. :blink: It's fairly quick in 1st, but feels slower than the SPI in 2nd and 3rd. What da heck? :huh:

I guess the only 05/06 I'd buy would be the ST.

The gearing in the '05 Focus seems to me to be all about the takeoff from stop (Damn thing will ping off the rev limiter in first if you mash it from a dead stop). Once you get rolling only way to get any grunt is lean on it like a drunk on a wall <_<

'course it does sound real nice when you do it, so much for being a gas miser :P
