SVT Focus came supercharged + nitrous could be a pretty quick 4 banger. Saleen also made a few Focus that came nitrous ready from the floor.

This is what my 09 cobalt put down on a dyno mods at the time were:
catless downpipe,sri intake,and trifecta tune all this from 2.0L's





309hp and 367ftlbs then I added methanol injection set it up so it's like a 75shot of nitrous....

ford has started selling i think its the "sl" focus and its tubocharged 245hp? stock and we all know what happens when you turn up the boost!

The new one is the ST. The last gen didn't have a performance version. The one before that had the SVT.

Same here and a friend of mine has one...it's so slow accelerating that I thought he missed third.

Handle great though.

I was wrong. I have only seen one and it had a supercharger on it. I just ASSumed it was standard since the SVT Mustangs of the same year had one.

If it was an SVT Focus those run low-mid 15s stock, so some bolt-ons and nitrous I guess I can see that.

No big deal, I was just confused and maybe was unaware of any coming like that.

I have a feeling if properly drive he could get high 12's but a auto-x suspension and spinning threw the first 2 gears is killing him it is defiantly a quick car but after I got done with a tubo swap if I went less then 13.5 thier would be a barbecue

Excuse me if I missed something, but this is the second post about your cobalt, and we are talking about the ford focus.
