92 v6 bird v. a 2001 focus zx3

well i pulled up to a light not thinking much of this little zx3(manual) guy and a girl in it. The thought of a race didnt even enter my mind. Well the light turns green and i take off in 1st shift to second (1500rpm) and all the sudden i hear the little focus' engine start screaming and im like wtf?! so i just punch it from there(1500rpm) which is no sweet spot for my car and i pull a car lenght through second and he stays about there till 75 when i decide to let off because of traffic. Not to shabby for my stock t5 v6! anyway. he just keep goin after i let off to about 85 probably and took the next turn. I was hopeing to go again from a stop where i can get some sort of a launch and really put some hurting . yea...i had a focus once. 2000 sedan one...auto....bleh...never goin to let my mom surprise me with a first car again

In stock trim they are slow. The SVT focus on the other hand is pretty fast. It will work over any stock LO3 or LG4.
