Once you hit 3rd gear its basically over for the torque. But I really would like to see a turbo Zetec. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

Stryker Zippy Zetec on his last legs. S Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,262	my fun is here: 1st gear: 0-27ish 2nd gear: 27ish-45 3rd gear: 45-60 4th gear: 60-85ish 5th gear: 85ish-115ish on a track of course... i really could care less how long it takes to get there, cause the zetec, IMO, is the best sounding Fuel Injected 4cyl. motor ever made for a car. period. BTW, those gears will go higher, but you lose most of the tourque after the posted speeds. those are near redline in every gear. i have noted that most of the Zetec's torque seems to come between 2,000 and 6,000 RPM. i love my zetec. its not the fastest car in the world, but it suits me just fine. scoots around town great, while still getting decent mileage. but the best part for me is the sound...and the looks i get at the next light when i pull away from everyone at the previous light...in a contour Last edited by Stryker; 06/16/04 05:33 AM.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
