Very COOL, now lets do a comparison between that unit and what else is out in the world, must be something that is close, does not need to be production...this will be interesting!

YES lets find more, this should be fun, like skid pad test, acceleration, braking, anything and as many different ones we can compare to the Focus.....this could be a bit tuff to find real data and not just jee-wiz stuff. There has got to be some in Australia and Britain too!

Again this should be fun

I know I could find 1000's of Subarus and Evo Mitsubishis and the like - I assume you are after the "rarer beasts"

Here are a few of my favorite small cars...

One ripper Alfa Romeo

174mph!!!

I know this is stock - and a GM product, but it looks impressive...
http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring...-astra-gti.htm

This was a V8 engined car - based on a car the size of the Focus, again another GM product.

And finally to top it off some seriously potent VW's...
http://www.dubsport.com/projects.asp
Check out the blue one with 2 Turbocharged V6's - expected to have 800hp in total when finished.
All of these cars are impressive - and a tad over the top, but hey...

Over the top comparison is what this thread will hopefully end up!
