Ford Focus zx3 article.
They install a nitrous kit and get cocky...
"..we realized that, in just a few hours, the foci went from mildly quick to being a straight sleeper. Think we're kidding? Just ask the guy in the Mazda Speed 3 who couldn't pull our little foci; sometimes , a facial expression is worth a thousand words"
the only way a speed 3 couldnt pull on a focus with nitrous is if the speed 3 was behind a semi truck doing 40mph.
im going to write in and set them straight..
"With just the intake and exhaust we gained roughly 5hp and a healthy 17lb-ft for a total of 89.5hp and 114.8lb-ft. While that isn't bad, had we used the correct plugs, both figures would have been higher. Next came the nitrous pull..... we hit the juice and spun the axles to the tune of 117.2 hp and an impressive 175.2ft-lbs. "
seriously..
stock speed 3's dyno at the minimum 220whp and 250tq.
