I'm leaving my gf's house and slowly took the car up to about 40 in 2nd then shifted up to 4th. Apparently this got the attention of a SVT Focus. He decided to tailgate me up and over a bridge. Due to the cops in Delray I decide to take a different route so I lose him. As he speeds away I notice he has a Cobra emblem on the damn car! WTF? I shouldve just raced him.

Holy **** they STUFFED that in there. When he got on it, it just sounded like a focus. Didn't sound like a cobra engine at all. I hope I run into this guy again so I can double check.

I doubt you'll be hearing a lope. Lope = Bad on forced induction motors.

That 4.6 Focus was cool, but the 5.0 focus for 15k give or take is the ultimate sleeper. It even has an optional "mellon shooter" exhaust pipe.

Cops...in Delray? You must have been on Lake Ida Road.

What color is your T/A. I was hanging out in downtown Delray last night and I saw a Black T/A and a Black T/A WS6.

You're forgetting the great warranty that comes with it.
For the price of that swap, you're basically paying for the **** that's gonna break in advance.
