After a great 1 year 5 month ownership I have unfortunately sold the Focus. I am very glad that I got to record this video before I let it go as a great memory.
I notice you like to skip 5th. Third, fourth & fifth are closely spaced ratio wise. I kind of wish all of the gears were spaced like that. Although I enjoy second gear the way it is 😀 I occasionally skip gears too but generally prefer listening to exhaust note going through all of them. I’m sure you’re car is still going strong. Bought mine at 127k miles & it now has 232k miles on it & it’s still going as strong as it was at 127k. Actually stronger as the IMRC wasn’t functioning when I bought it.
@@spartan55503 One of the most satisfying things to me on this gear box is how perfectly spaced 3rd to 4th is. It’s music to my ears 😀 I heard the big RPM drop and I was like oh that’s 4th to 6th. I’ve skipped gears going down with a blip just to be in the powerband. I don’t do it often but if something pops up fast where I need to get out of the way of faster moving traffic. One time I had a gap in traffic and I meant to go from 6th to 3rd as traffic suddenly slowed and I needed to quickly accelerate. I accidentally went too far over and went from 6th to 1st 😬 I was 500 or so RPM’s under redline so I was all good. Woke me up though lol

dang man I sold mine too definitely going through it
do it again but with the windows down. Those pops and bangs deserve to be heard
I have a 2002 ZX3 manual, wow, that pulls/revs high!
Nice video, can't get enough of some SVT content. What exhaust did you have on it?
It was a magnaflow muffler with a 24" resonator
6:00 nice pull
bro i reconize that area like the back of my hand, you're near Southgate / Riverview. I drive my 2013 focus ST down Dix toledo all the time.
bro drove past the Amazon warehouse I work at and my old high school.

I'm surprised you noticed, good eye.

I love these cars so much
Hey what mods did you have, more importantly WHAT EXHAUST it sounds amazing i just got a ZX5 EAP SVT 👌🏻
It was a 24 in resonator right after the cat with a magana flow muffler. The car was actually stock tho in terms of engine mods.
