you can go slap a new piston in there for a decent price if you decide to use nitrous, anything else that went wrong the dealer can fix.

you really don't know how a dearlership works.... NOS= no more warrenty.... sad but true... and there are more ways they your small mind could ever understand that will allow them to know if there has been NOS on a car or not.
besides NOS is the "poor mans power adder" big daddy garland (sp?) old time drag racer.

Not this crap again.

goes to show what your small mind knows, either that or there's just some dealers around here with small minds that can't figure it out. there are ways to hide the use of nitrous, believe it or not, i don't really care, but anyways that poor man goes faster than you (though you don't seem to have too much money yourself, shouldn't you have a turbo by now, mr.richie?)

racing wires = 35 bucks = 0 hp
homeade cai with filter = 35 bucks= 6 hp(being nice and some toxice pvc fumes)
swaybar and bushings= 50 buck =0 hp
being stupid enough to think that is modding.... pricelss

racing wires cost more than that,, and i never said my car is some great modded out car, (there is no requirement that the sig only have mods ) and i think something that gives added horsepower and something that gives added handling would be considered modding,, but i guess i'm too stupid to know what modding is, but atleast i can spell priceless. i bet you think you have a great modded car, sport with maybe an intake, i reckon on a sport an intake is a mod though i know you don't want a lowly four banger to be faster than you (and look better) but it has happened, and will happen again. or am i too stupid to add more stuff to my car, or maybe i won't have money to do it please give me your exact definition of modding so i can live up to your great standards when you get a fast car, then come back and talk to me (i'll go ahead and stop talking to you now). by the way, i've done more to my car then what's listed (probably not mods though, what do you call them, changes? ) and u see that planned: HellaRS body kit,,, hmm seeing as that's a group buy that you have to pre-order and put a deposit on, i'm definetly getting it, is that a mod??? wait, your gonna say i don't have the money to get it, get it painted, and get dual exhaust to make it look right.

wow dude, you care alot... umm blackies tbird will beat the hell out of your car until you get a turbo or nos if thats ever in your plans, so I wouldnt be questioning his car's speed. He realizes the sport isnt worth modding, therefore no there isnt even an intake on it... but whatever this is getting dumb, lets drop it and be zetecers again... sound good kremit??

i'm always a zetecer,,,,but according to blackie i'll never have money to get a turbo or anything else, and i think the sport would be worth modding, and just because he doesn't think my car is worth modding doesn't mean he should dog on me about it. it seems if somebody didn't want to see contours look good and go fast, then they wouldn't be on these forums.

He likes the contour, i just think that zetecers seem to be a little too confident in their car's ability lightly modded(no nos or turbo) focus guys with cams udp cam gears exhaust and custom burned chips are getting to like 160 hp...yeah thats respectable, but not enough to keep up with an svt. I dunno I just think that people need ot realize any car can be modded and go fast, its just how much time and money you have to put into it..
thanks for listenin

Final thoughts:
1. NOS is fast
2. NOS is cheap (analyze "cheap" however you want )
3. Duratec in stock form will whup Zetec in stock form
4. Duratec will still whup zetec with equal mods
5. Zetec with mods could possibly whup a Duratech with no mods
5. Some Zetec owners suffer from a small "displacement" syndrome.
6. Modding is fun
7. Modding costs money (even PVC )

These are the facts.
On that note, I proclaim this thread dead...everybody please quit posting!

Still nobody has answered my question;
Why must a Zetec and Dutatec have the exact same mods?
I thought when you compared cars, you compared cars as they are, not "if they had the same mods".
If we're gonna do this same mod comparison, then strip two cylinders off the Duratec and compare it to a Zetec.
Hell I'll race off the bottle and Duratec that pulls two plugs out of their engine, any two, and I'll win!

somebody finally understands , of course duratec is faster (and more expensive and more prone to failure) and svt foci with 30hp less than svt contour can nearly keep up (driver's race)some duratec guys are just too egotistical, just accept it, zetecs can be fast. in N/A form, zetecs have proven to have more potential, and just as much non N/A. blackie, i'm sorry that you don't like the fact that i'm modding my zetec, but you can't stop me, i'm sorry you don't think zetecs can be fast, but that's just another thing you can't stop, and yeah modding cost money, and i'd rather spend my money modding a zetec, why do you have a problem with that?
