I was after an SVT out here in the states. Test drove a few and it didnt even feel like 140bhp let alone 170. I'm hoping to buy one of the 2.3 Duratec's this week. Looks like a std 3dr Focus but 150bhp and more torque than the SVT/ST and lower down too. OK no trick brakes or 6 speed box but for $9000 (Late 2003 model) you can't complain - thats about what 5.5 grand in GBP?
