The only Saleen Focus I know of (which is the one in the pic if you look closely at the badge on the right) is the Saleen N2O Focus. It was featured in some mainstream car mag I read years ago (MT, C&D, or R&T) and came with a bunch of upgrades, the top of the pile being a full nitrous system that was not hooked up. You see, once you hooked up the lines, it would void your warranty. As far as I know, they never built a turbo Saleen Focus, but I could be wrong; I don't feel like googling to find out.

You can order a Saleen Focus with a turbo. I watched them build one on a show on speed. I was bored, what can I say. They built a saleen F-150, mustang, and Focus.

There was more to it then I thought, but still wouldn't own one.

It would make sense to build one with a turbo to run up against the SRT-4s and such, I just never saw anything about one, not that I was looking.

I don't see anything about it on saleens website, also nothing about the F150's. Apparently, the N20 Focus is still available in Canada though.

For some odd reason I remember almost every detail about almost every car I've ever read about, even I don't care about or like the car at all. Hence my recollection on the Saleen and SVT Focus(es?) and other lame rides.
