Default SC S2000 vs Focus

I know i know but hear me out

Coming home from gym im sitting at light and see these bright lights coming up on my right, its a blue focus dropped with nice rims exhaust and 2 gauges on the A-pillar

Well he wanted some cause he took off but yet I was ready too to my surprise I heard the typical supercharger Ford whine, but by the time I hit 85 (light to light) I was 3 or 4 cars ahead anyway.

I dont know the specs of it but I guess it was a SVT Focus

Ford doesn't make a supercharged SVT Focus. It's normally aspirated, but Jackson Racing does offer a kit for the car.

It couldn't have been supercharged because I think you would have gotten your ass handed to you. They're lighter and with the numbers you see above with Jackson's kit, he would have walked you no problem. The thing has 150 ft-lb of torque to the wheels at 3k RPM!!! He was NA if it was an SVT Focus. However, if it was a regular Focus with a Jackson kit (and they do make one for the regular Focus also), these are the numbers (and then you beating him is then believable):

I wouldn't have wasted my time and gas on that Focus. I know it's hard to resist sometimes.

Nice kill anyway!

Curb weight on the 3 door Focus is 2,593lb. So, figure with a 157lb driver, you've got 2800lb to push (or pull) with 204whp. I'm coming up with 13.9@99mph for the 1/4 mile. With a 98mph trap speed on that turbo Focus, it should have run low 14's.
