demon, can you not read? i kept saying money is not the point, and never did i say a zetec can be modded for cheaper and go faster (except for nitrous, as proven by sleeper

) the $1500 thing is stupid, considering you already spent much more for the svt, 3L,etc. give me that money and that $1500, i gaurantee a zetec could be faster. if your not gonna count the money for a 3L engine, plus rebuild,etc. (hmm 3L duratec not even being the real engine in question here) then i wouldn't have to count the bored out zetec block plus pistons,etc. like i said money is not a point, n/a zetecs have proven to be FASTER (not just more powerful) than n/a duratecs, deal with it, quit trying to compare apples to oranges and realize the zetec can and has been faster than duratecs.
