It looks like Ford's WRC '05 season is completely shot now:

Peugeot Signs Markko Martin

Written by: RACER staff London, UK – 9/9/2004

Markko Martin has signed to drive for Peugeot in next year’s World Rally Championship, Autosport reports. While no official announcement has been made by the French team or Martin, it is believed that a deal has been agreed that will give the current leader of the Ford works rally team joint No. 1 status with Peugeot’s current team leader, Marcus Gronholm.

Ford was widely expected to lose its top driver due to an expected cut in its WRC budget, if not outright closure of the team, for 2005. Martin had also been in discussions with the works teams of Citroen and Subaru.

This, tied with the fact that Ford did not renew Duval's contract, probably means there will be no Ford WRC next season! Sigh.

Just because I went through all of the calculations and I don't want to lose this, here are the theoretical top speeds for the '04 SVT Focus (with the stock 6 speed with dual final drives and 215/45-17 tires).

Gear	Top Speed (MPH)
1st	41.25
2nd	68.60
3rd	94.54
4th	114.93
5th	137.72
6th	169.60
