New from Ford this year is the 2005 Focus ST. In stock configuration, the ST features the 2.3L 151 HP Duratec DOHC engine. It is the sportiest Focus in the 2005 line-up, available only with a 5-speed gearbox.
While this configuration will meet the needs of many, we know that Steeda Customers expect something more - be it more performance, or more distinctive styling, or on a good day, both.
We had the Steeda Executive Cruiser on display at the Steeda Stampede, and had loads of questions on what went into this cool looking car. Here's a thumbnail glance at the mods we made:
Steeda Sidewinder Graphics Package
(includes side stripes, Steeda windshield decal, front and rear valence decals, G-Trac suspension decals and Steeda front and rear oval emblems)
I despise Steeda... and that car just looks really lame by Steeda's standards.. It's not terrible though.

The Steeda Executive Cruiser - What's the cost of all the Steeda junk they are putting on the ST $5,000??? I'm sure the graphics add at least 25hp to help the rotation of those 18" wheels...

Hmm yeah, not too fond of it. It is nice that it comes with the Eibach Prokit though, it looks better with the lower stance. I gotta say I don't like the over-the-top insane Steeda'd-out look, so this is better than those models, but it's quite a lot of stuff ($) for not a whole lot of performance (ooh, springs and non-stock tires!)
I agree a set of 17s would probably look a bit nicer too, although the style of that wheel isn't bad in and of itself. I doubt 18s make this thing ride like an "executive cruiser" too!
