Maybe you love the Mustang and the Focus, or you're just glad we gave the Focus its own magazine so it doesn't take up space in 5.0&SF. Either way, our first issue of Focus Fanatic did well enough that management is letting us do a couple more this year. The Spring issue will be on sale April 27. This issue will include a comparison of the SVT Focus and the new 2.3-powered Focus; a drive of the famed European RS; an installation of Vortech's Zetec kit; a feature on a 700hp, twin-turbo, 4.6-powered sedan; and details on Lentech's bulletproof transaxle. We'll follow it up with a Fall issue on sale in late September. So, if you wanna see what Ford's little import fighter is up to, be sure to check out Focus Fanatic - on sale April 27th.
