Yes, but have you ever seen an 98+ SE Sport with the Zetec?

Up until now I believed the V6's were standard on those. Zetecs are common on regular 98.5+ SE models, but I haven't ever seen an SE Sport with one.




I beleive all the sport in SE Sport means is you get the side skirts and spoiler as well as the leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with the manual, possibly fog lamps also

SE use to mean the V6 and the above, plus leather and the SE wheels, etc, but as you pointed out in 98 that was changed and all the models were bumped down one
