You guys remember me getting pissed off at Ford and GM for the Ecotec at one time before? The reason was this. Their designers have done their homework. The lead tech was balsy enuff to know he had a good product, that the man actually sat with his Ecotec engine, built up, and in the actual room with the engine. I remember seeing that and getting PIZZED...If Ford would have done that, if they would have gotten in behind their product and said, hey, "we're supporting the younger racer" just like GM is doing, we would have much more support. I gotta be honest, at first, I didnt want anything to do with them, then I took the test drive, tried to find the on-star button...(Darn it is a stocker..no button..good less weight), then did my research. It has instead of the usual belt driven timing, chain driven, the tranny is supposed to be pretty freaking strong for 04...gotta do some digging to find that. But it can be a beast and there is an aftermarket for it and GM performance which is out there too!

Ford did support the Focus and zetec somewhat as far as drag racing support and I know you've seen the Ford Racing stuff.... Of course they wouldn't support what it's supposed to be a family car,,, chevy is trying to market the cavy as a young car, so they will do things to target them.
