98 3.0 Cl vs 2004? SVT Focus 3 dr.

I was following a friend (driving a 2003 nissan sentra) back home to his house last night. We came to a red light and while we were waiting an SVT Focus rolled up into the 3rd lane. Focus revs, i look at my friend. He revs, I rev, on green we go. My friend is a full car legnth back by the end of the intersection focus is about the same. I left my auto in 2nd till 7.2k and shift into 3rd. The focus closes in a little, but by 6k in 3rd I start pulling away. At 115 he lets off. I know an focus is not a big kill, but with 170hp and more than 1k less curb weight I thought he would do better. Anyways....im pretty much stock on the go except for an intake, plugs and wires. I want to get the v2 but im waiting for some feedback on a 3.0.

They aren't that fast. Good kill, though. I smoked one once trying to merge into my lane, but I have a CL-S though.

Your cls is a lot faster than my 3.0. I raced a friends cl-s and he smoked the sh%t out of me. I almost bought a g35c last month because i wanted a faster car, but than i took a ride on my friends 'Busa and now im hooked. I want a turbo Busa and that's that.

"'busa" is short for Hayabusa. Also know as Suzuki GSX 1300 R

If you are even lucky enough to ride one of these for a day you will want one insanely bad. One ride on this and ANY car seems slow as hell. I raced countless cars the day I had it and dominated all. The turbo Busa's are running low 7's 1320's with 300-500 whp. Top Speed is over 270 mph. Check this one out:
