OOH and demon I think you really under estimate the Zetec.... I gave Rick aka buckshot a ride form gingerman to the hotel at Spring Zing last year and he thought I had a duratec... his exact words was this isn't bad for a standard duratec. he was shocked to find out I had 2 less cylinders and .5 less displacement.

and on the weight differences how much does your front and rear bumpers off the SVT weigh my guess is more than a non SVT's the leather interior well that would too be more that the cloth interior of a non SVT, how about the SVT side skirts??? the motor for the power seats too. you add every thing up and there is about a 500lb difference between a SVT and a GL Zetec. and the Zetec it self is ~80 lighter than the duratec.
demon you gonna come to Spring Zing next year??? I'll be there I'll race you and I bet you would be suprised as to how well a little Zetec can keep up with a SVT. ooh and I don't have a bottle and won't be getting one either.
