wow, you had to go on a rant about zetec's. go find the post where i said the CSVT is soo superior then all zetecs. then you go onto to say how fast a turbo awd car is. HOW THE F@$k can you compare the car to the CSVT. maybe you should start your own thread of how a awd turbo cosworth escort is faster then any CSVT




1 wasn't saying JUST you or that you had ever said that but that is the feeling of 9 out of 10 SVT owners on here.
2 have you ever been in a contour with a Zetec that wasn't a stock ATX??? I bet you would be suprised. Buckshot was when he rode in my car
3 how can I compare the AWD Escort you an SVT well as you said it's just an escort... but fine you want just a front wheel drive escort GT with a cossie motor in it.... it's still a little 1.9 so it can still put down to the ground 300-400hp and more than enough TQ but if you wuld like to stick with the 2.0 Zetec how about the latest cossie 2.0 that dynoed at a weak 528 WHP... but you know it's still just a Focus. or lets take the Esslinger ZX2 that they did to show ford what they had up their sleeves which is why all the ford racing stuff is actually Esslinger products they made a plain jane escort FWD do a 9 second quarter, no turbo no super charger no bottle all MOTOR only thing they did was put in a roll cage and some racing seats, but guess that's "just and escort"


so what I have been trying to say is you and most everyother SVT owner looks down on the Zetec since the day we started getting SVT owners on the boards and mailing list yeah I've been on the sinte since 1997 when I bought my car... would you get a little bitter if you showed up at an SVT experiance weekend and had all the cobra and lighting guys saying well you only drive a duratec so it couldn't be fast? not saying the duratec is a bad motor or anything just I will never own one infact as soon as I find another pre 98 contour MTX with a Zetec it will be mine and then I will goto town on internals on this car.
