Is it anything like honda's VTEC? i'm sure people other than myself have pondered this but have been afraid to ask for fear of being called dumb or something. 95 Contour GL Zetec New 16" Focus wheels!

We don't have this here... we are all cool.. Regarding your question... Zetec does mean something... In western way of thinking Zetec means Pranah... or Nirvana as some would call it.. In eastern culture few call it the Force... if you know what I mean.. As you can see.. Zetec is very profound and difficult to be explained... it is something unborn and unseen... It is beyond ALL at the same time... In a more coloquial language.. Zetec is a way of life... Like when people talk.. how u doing today ? I am Zetecing.. u know.. :p :p :p *********************************************** I better finish my world Religions class ASAP... it is making me sick...

So, I guess if you had a windshield banner that said "Zetec" you'd have to have the definition below it 125.2 FWHP - 126.5 FWTQ SVT exhaust (#4 of 9) - B&M FPR - Custom CAI - bnoon optimized TB #1 & 2 (beat that!!)

Zetec is unborn, unseen and UNDEFINED ... that meaning you could never try to put its definition below the name... :p :p There may be many names... Pranah, Nirvana, Force, etc... but in order to grasp the idea of living Zetecly you must take your car to a track and run the quarter at 17 seconds... that is IT !! You now feel it !!
