Ford Focus Saleen?
Thursday, December 01, 2005 6:38 PM
Ok so I was taking my gf out to dinner tonight and I saw this focus in the parkinglot outside the china buffet. It had a body kit and I thought it looked pretty nice so I went and cheked it out. Then I saw the back bumper had Saleen indented in it. The exhaust came out of this middle of the back bumper and on the windsheild it said Saleen. Now my question is did ford make saleen focuses? I thought it was only mustangs.

You could have just googled it, or for that matter, gone straight to saleen.com...

You would think that wouldnt void the warrenty, since it even says on their own website "Nitrous Ready Direct Port Nitrous 75-hp Wet System with 10-lb Nitrous Bottle " Intresting though, who knows.

I think it's because nitrous is illegal to use on the streets, and so legally using the nitrous would void the warranty, UNLESS you can somehow prove to have only used it on the track?


First of all, I'd like to thank wesmanw02 for being such a Cobalt-nut-sucking tool.
Secondly, I'd like to thank Travis Kearny for being so entertaining.

Taking your car to the track goes against a lot of insurance companies policies.

I remember reading about that car in SCC and laughed when I saw the warranty was voided when you use n2o even though it was built for it. I'm sure dealership overprice those things too.

"And underneath this quiet exterior, lurks a 250hp sleeping giant, which only Saleen could make it happen."

This will be considered heresy to some Saleen people but this claim ^^ off of the Saleen website made me laugh. Only Saleen....oh yeah....and some stupid 22 year old kid like me could make a quick economy car....Sorry, I just found that amusing.
