camaro was a hot seller was it not?


The cavalier was definately the best........

 

What's the problem with taking something good and making it better?

 

you still stuck in 02 when camaro's were still made.....

 

first you have to start with something good, which the focus was far from, it was just about the biggest piece of shit ford made. it is second in shitty only to the newer deisels.

 

RIP SVT.. but their are plen of outside tuner companies that make quality vehicles for ford such as Saleen and Rouch... Any the most sold SVT model is always the Cobra.. that isnt going anywhere but back into Carroll Shelbys hands so thats a plus in my humble opinion.

 

Saleen and Roush stuff was always overpriced and underperforming compared to SVT stuff. Compare an SVT Cobra to a Roush stage whateverthef*ck supercharged 2v. The Roush was like 15k more expensive and had a ton less potential.

 

Sheesh Kender - Don't mince words.

 

Right. With the exception of the recall-happy late 1999 thru 2000 models, the Focus was a damn solid reliable car. Recalls are to be expected on a 1st model year. For example, the new Civic made by God's gift to the automotive industry had a massive recall within months of hitting the showroom floor.

Despite a couple stupid quirks with my SVT's tuning, it is a joy to drive and hasn't let me down. The regular ZX3 is a fairly capable car right out of the box. SVT capitalized on those capabilities and built a fantastic little car. My only complaint is it could use a bit more power.


FYI, only the SVT name is dead. They are now operating under the name "Ford Performance Group" (of course with major cutbacks in staffing). There is much discussion on this topic in Ford Tech and other Ford sites (some of which are officially sponsored by Ford SVT).
