    SVT Focus Price

    I see a ton of SVT Focus's on the used car lots and rolling around here in PA...I have always liked them, but now that the SRT-4 is out, its getting alot of attention in the 4 banger world and its a good deal. I believe that SVT isn't modding the Focus no more(SVT version), but Ford is still...

    Why don't the 98 Cobra's have strut tower braces?

    If they are not that big of a difference I'll save my money, but the car does feel alittle loosey goosey in the turns...maybe its the Kumoto tires that are all most bald!?!? -Chris

    Why don't the 98 Cobra's have strut tower braces?

    Just curious, was reading up on the 97 and noticed that the convert and coupe had a factory installed strut tower brace. Anyone know why the 98's didn't, and is this something my Cobra would benefit from? Thanks in advance. -Chris
