but come on, should a healthy atx zetec get wipped by a 1.6DOHC 105 HP engine? I mean come on! but when we got our car 8 years ago it did feel much faster then what it feels like now, its a total slug. I'm dissapointed.

His car is lighter right? And manual? Then yeah it should beat you, though it does sound like your car needs a bit of a tune up.

You seemed like you had been around cars long enough to know that 105hp is just a simple number and it's not the only thing that wins races. But I guess not, you have a lot to learn still.
