As some of us have said, the Zetec tends to be "slow" at the lower rpm's and makes up for it later at the higher end! After all, we are talking about a 4cyl engine and not a V6! What do you expect to get from a stock 4cyl engine? I'm guessing your Mystique has a V6 and if so why try to compare the 4cyl to a V6?
If your Zetec was really slow then you had more problems going on than just the fact of owning a 4 banger!
