It wouldn't make sense to want to spend less on the car and more on mods...just buy a better engine from the start... Do not buy a Zetec to Go fast. Buy a Zetec to Feel fast. Buy a SVT to turn fast, buy a Zetec to turn decent. and Finally... Buy a Zetec for Cost, buy a Duratec...just buy a Duratec Note: All the above siuations are based on the presence of a MTX or Manual Transmission. If ATX is your option, you need not reply. The opinion expressed is solely that of a former MTX Zetec owner. 1992 Ford Escort LX-E -Tracer LTS spoiler -GT Grille

Cosworth has some great power goodies for it. And yes, always get a MTX. Just be sure ot get a 2.3 liter Duratec and nto the 2.0 Duratec. Msot of the cossie goodies only work with the 2.3.

When I ran my contour, I was THE slowest car at our drag strip that day. You usually don't see multiple slow cars on one day. But anyways, I ran 11 flat in the 1/8. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

It wasn't going to go any faster without some more expensive work done to it. J.T. 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 294ci V8.
