Well since I'm in an argumentative mood and even though I said I was done with this thread.
Dan brings up a great point.
If the Zetec is so great, a design marvel, and such a great base for building power.
Why is SVT abandoning it for Mazda's 2.3L in next years SVT Focus and why is the Zetec in general being dropped in favor of Mazda's 2.0L engine across the board as well.
If the Zetec was "da bomb" would not they still use it or build off it's design???
To top it off not only is the Duratec family alive & thriving, it's being put into more makes and models, and they even have tentative plans for a new Duratec based engine or more hybrids.
