juding from the caliber of the shops you went to i dont think i would go back...yes you can put a supercharger/turbo on the zetec, will need to upgrade alot of other parts as well...

underdrive pulleys, kkm, exhaust, remove resonator, high flow cat, those are good mods for the car...superchip too...will all add some more gitty up...

remember, you have a automatic 4 cylider, not meant for drag racing either...the zetec has much potential if it is done right...

dont listen to the critics, cause thats what they do...criticize...the contour is a handling car more than a drag racing car, road races (autocross) is where the tour is king...in a way...

good luck with the tour, go to www.teamzetec.com for some others input as well, but welcome to the ceg!
