Also that in Spec Focus they are required to run Toyos, which give up a lot of grip versus Hoosier R6 rubber.
I think the Focus in full IT trim could be a terror in ITS and make the front runners in ITR nervous. I've got an ITR Mustang, and no way is a stock V6 Mustang as good as a stock SVT Focus. I believe the latter has more upside and should be a better candidate in ITR than the Mustang. Just my $.02

I have owned an 04 SVT and an 06 ST with the 2.3.
Loved the '06; disliked the SVT.
It's all a weight game because either would make a good race car. Both are kind of oddballs though.

Yeah...that SVT was a trip. Broke off about 10 O2 sensors (on driveways!); doors would break (refuse to latch) and the tires could never stay balanced. All warranteed but a pain.
Never a problem or concern with the 2.3 ST and it ran much better. It was never in for service other than oil changes.
I trade at the end of warranty and I am currently on a '08 Cobalt Sport. Waiting on the '10 Fiesta.
The ITAC is taking a look at the Foci and (while I might just speak for myself) it's really easy to get lost among the various iterations of the thing. If any of you experts would like to provide "friend of the court" kind of documentation or guidance, you can email it to me and I'll put it into the mix. We need physical attributes to make decisions but general "what is what" kind of information helps (e.g., when different model/trim level runs started/ended, how they differ, which might have tricks hiding in the spec sheet that we should really consider a la the MTecnic BMW bumper...)
