so what? the zetec was pretty old when it went into the contour in 95. IIRC the Zetec has been around since early 1992... the First contours were made in late 94 and they had Zetecs... So the engine platform was already 2 years old when it went into the contour.
Even if thats true (which im sure its not)im not bothered at all by a 1.8L I4 that produces 148 horses... Personally I see that as an awesome power/litre ratio... thats roughly 82 horses per litre.
