Plus the whole fact that 15's are not remotely quick at all. My wife's 4cyl ATX Cavalier could crack 15's when bone stock. (Just barely but 15's none-the-less) I would not rate it quick in my book. Great gas mileage and very reliable but not a fast car worth bragging about. Now if Hector did all those mods to his Zetec himself (IIRC) then that fact is definitely worth bragging about! The ET or its improvement is not though.

I did all the mods (everything except exhaust).

Question? Why does it matter that the car ran 15s? I improved my quarter mile time 3 seconds from stock and again the car gets bashed and put down. 3 seconds is 3 seconds despite traction or other "issues" associated with high horsepower cars. I never claimed the car was fast but a HELL of a lot faster than stock. I worked with what I had and it paid off.

Come on Demon, I would expect better from you. Saying that your wife's Cavy ran 15s stock (comparing it to my modded Zetec). That is like saying you put all this money into your modded SVT and it only runs 13s......then comparing it to my car which runs 13's stock.
