Apparently you have never drove in a Cosworth 2.0L Escort my friend, stock producing well over 100hp/L not to mention adding aftermarket parts. Have fun Originally posted by DonSVO: Originally posted by Pascal: [b] Originally posted by DonSVO:
[b]no offense, but just call it slow. a naturally aspirted I 4 is a dog. my ranger is a dog. 2.3L I 4. i hate it. No offense but you don't know what you're talking about. An I-4 Ranger is a POS, of course you hate it! There are VERY powerful NA I-4s everywhere.. Granted, the 2.0 Zetec isn't one of them..  [/b]
honda four cylinders are anomalies and works of engineering art. the S2000 for example, pushes way past the 'perfect numbers' of 100 hp/liter. but i dont see any 2.0-2.3L ford engines doing that aside from the circle track racers.
basically, all i meant was that the engine in his car is not the best.[/b]

its a fine car, it handles well, i really dont expect to racing in it though anyways...heh, unless i see a minivan.
I guess now im gonna work on trying to get a better sound system anyways. Hey, sounds like me, except i've got a 1998.5 2.5L ATX. First i put in the Sounds, then performance mods to make up for the major weight gain (300lbs +). I'm not into racing since i'm on a such puny island, and there isn't anywhere to go (NO FREEWAYS, and DRAGS only once a month).
Give me more beer and CEG before i get depressed!

Yeah, plus I've only got about 200 bucks so far to spend on the car. I got a cracked windshield and my sideview mirror broke, so it cost about 600. Plus, im just 16.  I think I'm going to get a chip eventually though, I NEED more power.
