When you have experience with performance parts on your Zetec (real mods...not plug wires and an air filter) come back and talk. Hector, ZetecRacing and others really seem to know their stuff and have done many performance mods to their car, I respect what they say. According to Kremits sig he is getting the body kit so atleast he will look fast 
Your 96 GL ATX will be even slower with the body kit, so if you are going for performance....you are heading in the wrong direction. And yes a 96 Zetec ATX in stock or lightly modded form is horribly slow, I have one that I use as a beater. Since the Zetec has all of that potential, why dont you put that money towards a turbo 
As far as sleepers times, congrats man. It's great to see those kinds of times out of your Zetec.

i'm not saying my car is fast, so whether i have performance parts or not doesn't decide what i can post. and how will my car being slower with the kit? the back bumper will weigh less than stock, and side skirts won't add much more, most likely equally out to be the same weight (when you do some real aesthetic mods, then you can talk
) and yes my car is slow right now,,, hmmm maybe that's why i'm modding it
and what money are you talking about that i should put toward a turbo? $400 won't come close to getting me a turbo and getting the atx able to handle it. though that is the future plan, modding is a gradual process, if you want me to have a turbo right now, go buy one for me.
and i guess everyone on here will just have to live with me modding a atx zetec. (costly yes, worth it YEEEESSS). and FYI, i'm going for performance and aesthetics,, do i need to clear that with all the svt owners before i do it? go have your board meeting to decide whether i can mod my car or not.
