Let me ask you, honestly how many boosted Zetecs are there in the world compared to boosted Duratecs? Duratecs have a hard time lasting with minimal mods....not bumping up the power almost 70 whp like I did with a stock Zetec ATX. How many people with the Duratec HAVE to build up the engine for boost. I just slapped boost on. The proof is in the pudding....you've posted over 20k times.....have you read ANYTHING?

As far as me being a hyprocrite.......it was time to move on. I had no time or space to work on my car some more. Add in the fact I have a baby girl on the way, now engaged, I needed a newer car more now than ever. So I got an Evo. So what. I still hang out with more CEGers than you ever have. I am still on here helping. I will continue to do so.

You really need to grow up.

Yes there are more boosted zetecs than duratecs. Part of the reason why I agree that for a LOT of power, zetec may very well be the way to go.
How many people have to build up the duratec for boost? Umm none have to, they chose to. How about Ray's car (was Tom's) isn't that a stock internal 3L putting down 356whp?

The proof is in the pudding. The pudding is that to get decent power, it's cheaper just to buy a duratec.

Again (I don't know what the heck you're arguing), the zetec is a GREAT engine and if going for HUGE power, then sure use it.

My point about the EVO was that obviously a zetec contour isn't the best thing ever as you're trying to make it out to be. And the fact that you're telling me to go over to the duratec forums, since I'm forgetting my "roots". Sorry, I know my roots but thankfully got smart enough to know what is a waste of time and money.

And grow up? With you trying to take shots at me for not hanging out with a buncha CEGers and whatnot. Yeah, sorry I live in a small town with no CEGer for over an hour away and yet still have traveled to 3 states to meet CEGers. And I have tried to plan meets, attend every meet that doesn't conflict with my job,etc. Just look at the SE forum. Hmmm, summer dragon meet.

Whatever hector. The zetec is God's gift to humans. You're right, everyone should spend $2k on the car, and another $3k+ to supercharge it to attain less power than a $3k SVT. My bad.
