ORIGINAL: Saleen Inc.

What an exciting addition to the latest Saleen offering! With distinctive European rally car styling matched with Saleen-proven performance, the Saleen N20 Focus the first of its kind direct from the manufacturer. A true “nitrous ready” solution is available for those who want more out of the modest Focus. And underneath this quiet exterior, lurks a 250hp sleeping giant, which only Saleen could make it happen.
That's from the Saleen website (http://www.saleen.com/n2o_s121.htm). I fail to see how that is subtle or quiet

I remember seeing that in like Super Street. Believe you can get a nitrous kit to go with it. All focus' are crap but the sequential one by turbosmart and the RS sold in Europe (280hp turbocharged and awd)

European-American cars always come out way better than over here. Same goes for Australian-American i.e.Vauxhall andFalcon's

BTW I noticed this Saleen is an untip-automatic. Dunno how it can handle all 5k fwhp's

I just noticed that the Focus in the OP has some stupid decal on the driver's door, and doesn't have the same styling on the sides as the Saleen Focus a couple posts down the page - the only thing Saleen about the silver Focus is that some doofus stuck the Saleen spoiler and rear bumper on it LOL!

WEAK!

Looks like the same wheels and skirts to me.....and the same exhaust, (and I'm about 99% sure the regular focus's didnt have center dump exhaust...)I'm gonna say it's real

Good point - I should have looked closer. Still, that decal sucks.
