After losing to an electric CIVIC HYBRID in the loaner zetec I had while my SVT was being fixed...It's hard to believe a stock zetec can beat very much.

Right. Either it was a freakishly slow zetec or a freakishly fast (or misbadged) civic. My zetec doesn't have a problem hanging with slightly modified civics.

ok, "lost" was not the correct term. He was infront of me and the first in line at a stoplight. It turned green and he took off surprisingly quick, so just for the fun of it I decided to follow. And I can honestly tell you I had a decently hard time keeping up with it. No it was not misbadged (dont know who would put "electic hybrid" badges on their car to make it look slower anyways ), it was some grey haired guy. Hardly the type to misbadge a civic. But don't worry, I opened the hood and gave the gerbal spinning the wheel a treat for working so hard.
