Wonder what kind of V6??  i think it's a 302 (5L).
that would be the zx2 joe was speaking of,, it's running in a class close to the 7 sec. focus, and the 6cyl focus.

Holy Crap. I actually read this thread? Plain and simple both engines are great engines for their own reason. I have one of each and am happy with each. If I had enough money I really don't know which one I'd play with first. Most of the attributes have already been discussed so I'll leave it at that. Just remember though there are many variations of the same vehicle, and I'm sure they are all represented on the CEG. We all share the same interest and there is no need for anyone to harp on anyone else in light of that. Honestly we really can all get along.

Wonder what kind of V6??
And no, i am not going to go find the link..cause I did not make the claim. Anyway, my points are quite clear and if you choose to think that I am somehow badmouthing "zetecs" then so be it. I'm going to say goodbye to this thread.
dan it is really sad that you can't even read what you quoted... I spoke of the ZX2 not the focus they mentioned at the end... and esslinger doesn't do v6 motors... read here: Since 1989, Ford 2.0L and 2.3L engines have had the benefit of increased power production and better reliability due to parts engineered and manufactured by Esslinger Engineering. From simple bolt-on parts such as billet aluminum underdrive pulleys to completely CNC machined cylinder heads and engine blocks, Esslinger Engineering has been providing complete solutions for everything from your mom's daily driver right up to their hot-blooded 10-second naturally aspirated Pro Stock ZX2 dragster.

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

I wasn't bragging. This is the "Dyno and Drag" forum where we can post out times. That's all I did. I know low 14's isn't fast, but its pretty quick for a mid 17 second 4 cylinder with no real mods (according to many on this board). So I guess if I run a 14.4 with no "real" mods, then everybody with "real" mods should be embarassed I am out running them. And I have raced an SVT, QBert's SVT, and beat it in the 1/4 mile, as he posted earlier in this thread (page 1).

HAHAHAHA...I would love to watch your face! You'll probably destroy him off the line, you'll get through first and be in the lead, put it in second and say to yourself, "This Zetec isn't that fast." Then by the mid to top part of second he'll come on like a freight train and blow by you...pretty incredible actually when you think that most of us duratec guys think we have pretty strong 2nd and 3rd gears. I've raced quite a few cars and not one of them has come on as strong in 3rd as his car.

14s from a car with no "real" mods definetly is respectable, seeing as the new sporty cars ,se-r,srt-4,wrx run similar times.
