Yeah, I agree the Zetec is a better engine. It's more reliable, too.
I don't like high redlines and revving the piss out of it to get power. I want instant power in the lowend.

Re: 1998+ Ford Escort ZX2
No, high rpms is where you want the power. I hate high RPMs and would prefer to break axles from idle but run out of power long before it starts screaming. I like engines that sound like Barry White, not Aaron Neville. I like engines that sound like Amon Amarth or Type O Negative, not...umm....Led Zeppelin (though I like Led Zeppelin, I don't like an engine to sound like Robert Plant) (I couldn't find a modern metal band that's all high-pitched screamy).permabanned wrote:high rpms is where you want the power at
