Damn. Whoever you are, you are really ignorant and uninformed. The base Focus platform is great. How the hell do you call it pathetic? The chassis can handle far more horsepower than what the base model Focus has. All SVT did was upgrade the springs, strut bar, and other basic things needed to upgrade the suspension, any basic ZX3 Focus owner can upgrade to SVT handling, its based off the same exact platform that you call pathetic. Man..where do you get your information from????
