Esslinger did a Zetec without a turbo or supercharger or a bottle and was making over 400whp. can someone show me a 2.5L duratec that does that or a 3L?

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

guys stop, I'm getting embarrassed to be a zetec modifier, really this stupid crap is going way too far. You guys are older than me right?? and i'm damn young so please act mature and stop making us all look bad, follow d davis, you guys dont see him acting like he's 10 fighting about how blue shoes are better than green shoes.. please just modify your cars and dont brag.
smile everyone, we all own contours, remember???

This Just In, 16.9 @ 82mph, NOT a fast Quarter Mile E.T.
I will repeat...this all sounds like Ricerbabble. Joe you sure you wouldn't rather be driving VTEC?

Why is it that to compare the Zetec and Duratec they must have the exact same mods?
I don't want to be like everybody else and do the exact same mods, I'm doing something different. Originality!
If we want to get in the money arguement, lets look at how much money SVT owners have to spend (including car) to get in the mid to low 14's. I gaurantee a hell of alot more than I paid to do it.

...and I've never seen a normal SE Duratec run 13's with just a few bolt ons either... ...oh that's right; it's been done long ago...  I'm happy you like your nitrous setup. I think nitrous sucks personally. Very temporary! Let's do a road race. You may keep up the first 30-40 seconds or so, but then you're slow as normal again. Hey folks. None of our cars are very quick. Even high 13's isn't blazing speed. We are all being different driving our Contours, Mystiques, Cougars, etc. Regardless what engine is in them. Enough beating the dead horse already...

OK, you will have to show me that one..until then I'm calling BS.. Or more politically correct..the probability of truth is unacceptably low.

it's there, go look at it, just search for it on yahoo or esslinger's site,,, that's funny, can't accept the zetec being fast,,, and this is more tuner talk than ricer talk, i'm not saying a stock zetec can beat a duratec, but a modded one easily can., i've seen plenty of hondas; N/A,turbo, supercharged, and bottle fed that can easily blow the doors off of any contour (currently  ). you duratec guys need to realize just cause you start out with more power, doesn't mean you'll end up with more power.
