Was just wanting some general info. Just bought the car about 1 week ago.
Wanting to know stuff like horsepower and 1/8 mile times if anyone knows this stuff.
It's a SE 4 cylinder. Says VCT I think on the valve cover.
Thanks,
BRadley

Stock hp/tq was rated at 130/135 for the 4 cylinder (Zetec). What trans do you have auto or manual? Welcome to the CEG.

They aren't sending it over any time real soon. They'll send a "downgraded" model mid next year at the earliest. Whoopie, another $23K turbo car that only has 230 crank HP. I'd rather pay for the Pontiac Solstice (under $20K), and it's a S/C 2.2L making 240 HP (plus it looks a hell of a lot better). Oh, and it's a convertible

An EVO also costs 30,000 or more, almost as much as two new Lancers.
I do know that my old 97 Zetec ATX beat the yuppie base Jettas all over downtown Chicago. That was good enough for me!
