This image shows the rear view of a black Ford Focus ST, parked inside a garage with the door open. The car has a Saudi Arabian license plate, and its design is clearly visible, with the ST badge indicating the sport trim of the vehicle. Outside the garage, you can see the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, with the iconic Yas Hotel in the background, reflecting the sunset light. The setting suggests the car is either about to head out onto the track or has just completed a session. The garage floor is highly reflective, creating a polished, professional atmosphere.

Drag Racing Experience: 14.3 Sec @ 100 MPH with 2013 Focus ST

Fahad Hizam alHarbi Fahad Hizam alHarbi

 

My first day at a 1/4 mile dragstrip in my 2013 Ford Focus. Only mod was SCT custom tune for 98 Ron fuel.

Car had 5,000 miles.

Best time of the day was 14.3 second at 100 mph.

I tried to experiment with full traction control on, sport mode, and full traction control off.

my best time was done on full traction control off, even with insane wheel spin at high rpm in 1st and 2nd gear.

other times were ranging between 14.4 and 14.6.

my next go in the quarter mile will have Steeda Cold Air Intake added.
