believe me mate zetecs are far from slow i have had loads and they are not slow, 1800 escort si 130 bhp its 7 brake behind the 19 so whats the big deal there,
focus st 170 again zetec 171 bhp definatly not slow
mondeo si 4x4 tops out 146 mph again thats not slow, its quick off the mark to
1.8 zetec is 130 PS not bhp, around 125bhp. The engine also has a larger capacity and was developed a lot later than the F7P.
Zetecs are not as nice as the renault unit I have to say
Last zetec car I owned as the 105ps orion, theres even a report on it, what a slow bin that was. pulled well from low rpm due to the small tb though.
The 130 with its larger tb and different cams does go a bit better but it won't scare a 16V ren.
the rs2000's pinto 16V headed cam chain I4 engine is crap.
