Let the flaming begin.



I really can't comment directly on that, since I've only driven Duratecs, but I can attest to the difference between a non-SVT Duratec w/ ATX and an SVT w/ MTX. The butt dyno shows a noticeable difference.

At the track back in August for the national meet, a non-SVT Duratec w/ MTX ran about 2-3 seconds faster than a Zetec w/ ATX in the quarter mile. However, I'm sure the tranny accounted for a good part of that difference, so its not really a fair comparison. Plus, the Zetec was Hector's, and I think he was having some timing issues at the time.
