And I think that you could be able to get him, but not by much. 160 hp/185 tq the outputs are relativley close although that dosn't always tell very much in terms of performance. 95 LX-with a mind of its own 24v DOHC SVT exhaust and K&N=all thats worth modding Go Fighting Sioux!!!

Just being a passenger, I do have to say that at low speeds, his car pulls hard. Might not have been as hard as my SVT, but I was suprised. My old 2.8L Grand Prix was a dog... but that was also 130hp in a same size vehicle. Or maybe it was the low altitude. My SVT pulls like crazy when the secondaries open in a place like Iowa (it was so-so up in Montana).

The 3.1 GP raced a 3.8 GP and for some reason this same friend said, "oh, I think it could beat it." Yea, right, that 3.8 is one of the fastest engines I have seen or the 3.1 is really an old dog. I think my car could take it with some good brake tourqing. I don't think I'm going to bet on the race though. I treasure my money too much. The Brainerd track is a really fun place to be in the summer time. I remember the first time I went there and it was packed. And speaking of GP's there was what musta been a 2000? Red GP GTP 2 door. Oh my, the entire engine bay was chrome plated or something. There was a little computer built below the radio and the battery was relocated to the trunk. Oh, and it was a chick. Thats hot!

Your duratec should be about a second quicker in the 1/4 than my car. I'd use the escort which should be only slightly quicker than your car, but gas prices are too high and it's on empty. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

SE & GT made do with the 3.1 Litre and GTP sported the Twin Dual Cam 3.4 Litre. It wasn't till '97 with the W-body redesign that the 3.8 NA and 3.8 blower showed up as an upgrade to the SE's 3.1 B.
