My sister's MTX Duratec 1995 Mystique is VERY peppy, 115kmiles, stock. Your Zetec tour might weigh less and "sound" faster...



I'm not building either car to be ALL motor. It'll be mostly motor. The car will not be raced,I just want something where I can put my foot down on the street,make me giggle and carve some backroads with a grin on my face and know that I didn't need to spend $50k on a Porsche to have fun. Budget is a key here. To date,I have had my V6 since May of this year and I have almost $9000 into the car. Atleast $3000 of that was in REPAIRS. This car is a pit.

You see,what I can do,since the Zetec car is stock,I can take it to the shop completely unmolested and then do anything and everything to it starting from scratch,whereas my V6 car is already modified and most of the stuff I've done to it is being replaced. Why not keep the stuff I've already spent money on and drive the car as it is and just beat on it while I can build a killer Zetec?
