NO the REAL simple way is to let DemonSVT ride in Hector's car. I think you are missing ONE thing here. No one disagrees that an ATX Zetec wouldn't be able to take a Z24. WITH MODS...there is always an advantage. Sure, most people won't mod the ATX 2.0 (like myself), but there are several people on this site that have modded their Zetecs both ATX and MTX just to show what the motor is capable of.
It seems like you are just ready to toss everything these guys worked for just because YOU deem the car unworthy. There is nothing wrong with stating facts. But everyone jumps up someone's butt who really knows cars and takes the time to mod said car, "slushbucket" or not. Whoever said that we should shake hands and say "good job" for putting work into the Contour, you are exactly right. We are all here for one purpose. And besides, EVERYTHING can be proven on a track. So enough of the dissing man. Just let it freakin' go.
