I think neither the Zetec or the SVT were made for racing of any kind. Most cars are not. Why is everybody getting pissed over nothing. If you like drag racing fine, drag race your car. If you like autocrossing fine, autocross your car. Why the fu k is this a big deal. Different people like different things. If you like it then do it. But don't get on somebody's case for liking the opposite. Now why again is there some Zetec bashing going on? I'm no kid either. I'm almost 23.

3 I drag race my tour and have never broke a thing. only tour I know that have borken anything say it was nothing to do with drag racing, it had to do with doing something they knew they shouldn't of done.
4 go ahead and auto X your car and tell us when you roll it, destroy your suspension, or blow your steering and come back and ask us how to fix it. I guess you don't know how to drive you car. It is broken in many spots and your suspension is shot; do you autocross? :p

EXCUSE ME "young man"?!?!?!? WTF I am 24 almost 25 that isn't young.
nice of you to think I am some dumb kid cause I drive a zetec. ZetecRacing...dude, chill. I never said you were "some dumb kid" all I said was think before you speak. I do appreciate the fact that you are 24 almost 25 years old and own your own car, alot of people don't. Originally I was just stating MY opinion about drag racing with tours and I beleive I said "you guys" not ZetecRacing. You took a personal offense to it and fired back at me without thinking what you were saying. But hey, one good flame deserves another. Sooo we can either flame or not, your call. peace, rainshdw

If you want a car to race, get a Corvette or Viper or Ferrari. Or whatever. Those things were made to take punishment on a regular basis. Most street cars can take some abuse, but only to a point. That is why people are blowing up engines, they're pushing it beyond that point (i.e. nitrous, s/c).

It is just if you punish your car you better be prepared to spend money maintaining and replacing parts. NO CAR IS INDESTRUCTABLE!
