Not true. Maybe not on the base models, but the svt focus comes with variable intake cam timing and a dual stage intake. Not exactly the same as vtec, but along the same lines.

I can't imagine it being too long before steeda, saleen, or sean hyland offer a super/turbocharged version of their focus.
BTW - Did you post this on Mustangworld, about how your car got wrecked and you picked up the focus? I think i remember hearing something on MW about that.

i thought i had heard a story like that before. :D
Steeda and saleen both make parts for the focus, but you are right, they are all cosmetic or small suspension stuff.
Sean hyland sells their "focus evo" but its just a body kit and some suspension. Their engine package consists of underdrives, exhaust, cold air, and bumped timing.
