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?
