I have a 95 LX ATX with the 2.5, and I can say that on more than a few occasions I have beaten Foci(plural for Focus?) at the "track" bone stock. Most of my competitors were stock, but there were a few with some minor mods, and none of them presented a problem.
and how many were at MTX??? cause I know MY MTX Zetec Contour can keep up with a ATX Duratec Contour with similar mods. and the focus is lighter by 200 lbs which is giving is a little edge in the quarter, I had heard from one of the local performance shops for every 100 lbs you will gain .1 in the quarter. go on focaljet and look at the times of alot of the focus owners... there are alot of MTXs running mid 16's bone stock I have never seen a ATX duratec do that stock.
