Does you car skip in the rev range any?  If so, since you have a 1999, you might want to check your fuel pump/filter. IIRC, they were recalled (on both Zetec and Duratec) and it'll really kill your car's performance. Try checking that.
If it's not that, then I have no idea. You need a V6.

Ever think of giving your car a really good service ? With an ATX Zetec, you're not going to win many stoplight races anyway but if it's been a while since it's had some TLC .... you'll win even less.

I concur,,, though if you're stuck with the car,, then just mod it and do all the maintenance you can and things do get better (somewhat)... and I hope an auto civic can't beat you,,, they can't beat me.

I rented a Malibu a couple weeks ago and was actually very surprised with the amount of power it had. It definently would blow any ATX Zetec clear out the water.

just get a new one... its infront of the rear passenger tire... makesure the new one comes with new clips to hold the tubing that runs to the filter on with... its a really easy instal... just make sure u have something to catch some excess gas
