Back in December I personally raced a bone stock `02 MTX Z24 at the Orlando Speeedway Midnight Drags (so no I don't have a timeslip), It never got the jump on me, but it was REAL tought to shake off, by the end of the track I had it by maybe a carlength at best. And my car runs in the upper-mid 15s.

Yeah, i shouldn't have been so nice about it...he was lying.Z24's aren't slow at all..and to be honest...there is no way in hell an atx zetec could even think about keeping up with one unless its got lots of work done to it...not just a stait pipe and CAI. I wish i had an MTX...

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Actually, the driver was a good friend of mine and very proficient with a stick.

Yeah, I was wondering that, too. Look at my car. It has a decent amount of power for the few mods I've done. You'd think it could be able to run lower than a 16.9, but I obviously suck at drag racing

If you are running 16.8 what is the point really???
I mean honestly... Even for a stock ATX 2.4L that's almost a full second slower.
Besides why would I drive the Z24 to a Contour meet anyway.
The best I can offer is to take video of a run in her car. I feel 16 flat is doable at our local POS track.
Either that or you can find lots of video and slips on the j-body site already. It's not as if my wife's car is magically faster then the rest of them. (Heck it's almost stock - just a K&N drop-in and 2.3L pulley)
I have old slips for her LS (2.4L ATX) from the one time I took that to the track. Like I said 15.8x at 87.x mph. That had about 10HP more worth of mods to it and slightly smaller rims & tires. (205/60HR15 vs 205/55ZR16)

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Like I said I have beaten one (probably due to a crappy driver, MAYBE ). I run a 16.9 and I have beaten my friend with a 2002 Cavalier ATX with the new Ecotec(140hp and 150Tq) who runs 17.3 (has intake and exhaust). So I can't see why a Zetec(MTX or ATX) can't beat a z24 (150-155hp 150tq IIRC)?
