That's a good looking Vette. Not a bowtie guy myself, but have to give GM credit. They've come a long way since the original 6 cylinder, automatics they started with in 1953.
I've always had love/hate feelings for the Vette. Love what GM has done with/to them in the last 50 + years. Hate that Ford didn't see fit to do the same thing with the Bird.
Guess that's why I got an Alfa Romeo in 1963. Ford had turned the Bird into a 4 seater, and the rumored 2 seat Mustang also arrived with 4 seats.

That is one FAST Focus. Assume it's either a pro built race car, or something the owner did.
NOT something you can go to your local (German-I think) Ford dealer and buy. Like you can the Vette. Sigh.
I saw about 252-253 kph on the speedometer during that last run.
If that speedometer is accurate at that speed and my math is correct, that translates to 155-160 MPH. Not to shabby.
