Mad Driting Action With This Focus !
Can't wait to see some of these out.
Anyone know what the kit will include ? Can't imagine a tranny or rear end.
I will buy a beer for anyone that can find out what you get for the $5K.
REAR-DRIVE, V8 FOCUS RS8: Now Ford itself makes a kit that will allow you to put a V8 engine in a Focus and use the power to spin the rear wheels. And not just any V8. In this case it's the 5.0-liter "Cammer" V8 crate engine tuned to make 420 horsepower at 6700 rpm and 370 lb-ft at 5000 rpm. Mercy! The RS8 concept uses the European Focus RS as a donor, but when the kit comes out early next year it'll fit right in your U.S.-spec Focus. The kit is expected to cost about $5,000, but the Cammer V8 will sticker at $14,995. Then you have to put it in. So it ain't cheap. But won't it be fun to thrill the gang at the next club drifting event?

REPOST POLICE....I posted this up earlier this week. 
Cool car. I really dig the exhaust exiting where the European fog/backup light should be. Too bad I'd have to sell both testicles and a lung to afford that motor.

So why is the cammer motor going to cost that much? They are putting some pretty costly gizmos on that sucker, but 15,000 dollars of gizmos? You could just slap any mod motor in there, right?
