300bhp can be had fairly easily on a Zetec turbo if done correctly,
never seen a RB powered focus, but have seen one with a 2JZ in the froint

yes but then there is the cost as well. you can get a 2005 subaru for 3k with all the bits but the cost of getting that zetec to 300bhp will cost way more and also will need upgrading the brakes etc
