I had the (dis)pleasure of driving a Focus SVT Euro edition (one of the yellow ones) yesterday. It had an intake, plugs/wires/high energy distributor, header and full exhaust. And it was a ****ing dog. Seriously. Below 5 grand it had no balls. Then you'd upshift and fall below the 2nd cam profile again.

Handled decently though, and the short shifter was nice. Unfortunate it was so slow. I really liked them until I drove it.
