Gee John, is that the only way to make one fly? I guess you really would need to "Focus" if you drive it.
Better than the squirrels that are inder the hood now I guess.

Holy Cow John! I see that it is real but is it functional? That looks like something out of a cartoon. I could see that thing fire up, go ten feet and then turn directly upward, go approx 1,000 feet in the sky and explode like one huge bottle rocket. I can see someone buying the car and not be happy with the power plant that it comes with, but this is unbelievable. Yes, we should chain that sucker to fordsajoke's truck. Drag it up to approx 1000 feet in the sky and then let her go. Lol.

Yeah it can pull that truck and the one that 450hp has! Of course his truck will beat that car! If you believe that, I have some nice land for sale too.

John, Lol. I am interested with what Brad will reply with. No doubt that it will be good. I wonder if fordsajoke has any idea of what has been written in the recent weeks. I really could care less but there is a small part of me that is curious. Jake.

Depends on who's driving it. If it's our friend with the 1995 F-150, it might go 141mph.

Hotrod: Be careful, I own a Focus ZX3. I am installing a Jackson Racing Supercharger in it Saturday , tomorrow. With the few mods in the car now, headers, cat-back system, Superchip, top end is 123 mph. You might think twice about messing with that little 4 banger. As the car is now, we run 15.4 second quarter miles. After tomorrow, we hope to dyno 200+ hp, at the wheels, and get down into the 13's. And no, there is no jet sticking out of the rear. In fact, there is nothing in the rear, but chevys!!!

Dang, you sound like me with my 65 F-100! I had som loser tailgating me the other night, and when I got to the last turn before a straight stretch of road and the speed limit went up. I let him have it! He was sitting there stunned like "duh, where'd he go?"
I love it, he was about 3/4 of a mile behind me, and I quit at 55. It took him 4 miles to catch up to me, I loved it!

John,
I don't think it would be so bad, at least it is a Ford! What would really be embarassing would be to be smoked by a nissan, or a mitsu, or even a honda.

John,
I've got a buddy that works on helos for the navy. Maybe he can snag us one of the really good ones! I'd love to strap one in the bed of this 88 model. And then have the tailgate drop open with the flick of a switch and Bang, zoom. Off we go into the wild ........
