    Welp it seems that all the JG cars had fun keeping nothing but oil on the track that fine day (blowing up), and low and behold the New Ford Focus was running that fine afternoon, as the good announcers made clear to us import people that the people running the car had built the car in a very short time and had already caught up to us and were gonna show us how it's done that fine day.. Too bad for them after spending all that money on the car on aerodynamics and engine setup they had to go so fast (showing us how it's done), that they flipped over! Good luck next time ford guys wink Maybe they'll show us how it's done when they spend another 100k to fix the damage they had inflicted on they're car wink (when showing us how it's done).

    Saw the video. that car is definitely RWD aka cheating. I mean seriously, how much modification can you do and still consider it a focus? IMHO its a tube chassis that was built to look like a focus for no other reason than the fact that it is powered by a 2.0 Zetec. Kinda lame IMHO.

    Sorry for being off topic.
