Rep Power: 259 What engine does he have? What year is it?
2.3L PZEV I4
145hp
~150tq
2.0L ZETEC I4
130hp
135tq
Either way, I'd say he has the advantage stock. Even with the mods, if it's the PZEV, I'd say you're in trouble assuming equal driver's, but I think you'd have a decent chance if it's the Zetec.

Rep Power: 259 Yeah, the 2.3L isn't too shabby. The 2.3L (also used in the Mazda 3 and 6) became an option 2003, so if it's older than that, I believe it would have to be the 2.0.

it's ok. with any luck, one of the 13 recalls on the focus will take him out before the race even starts.

Rep Power: 0 He has the 2.0L w/ 130hp, because I know someone who has one and he has an 02'. You'll probably win if you drive decent. I lost to him by a hair when I was bone stock. He had cold air intake and custom exhaust at the time.

Rep Power: 0 I raced by brother's 02 ZX3 5 speed and with my V2 intake he still beat me. We lined up 3 times and every time he'd always get me off the line (I suppose it's the torque advantage). Anyways, he'd get about 1 car length ahead, and then I'd stay right with him. On the highway though, at about 90+ I consistently pull on him, and once I hit 110 its all over.

Rep Power: 259 Stock vs. Stock, the ZX3 is faster, especially if it has the 2.3L Duratec with ~150hp. However, it's still a driver's race and anyone could win. Oh, and the engine is the 2.0 Zetec Engine, not a 2.0 engine W/ Zetec. It doesn't HAVE Zetec, it IS Zetec.

I used to drive an 01 focus zx3 all motor zetec 2.0L engine. I dismantled civics. ate them up like pancakes. the 01-05 civics had nothing on my lil focus hatch. I even took si's. the coupes and the new hatch's. The focus hatch would murder a civic any day.

Rep Power: 0 Not only did you bring up a dead thread (beyond decomposition) you are full of ****. You must have been racing auto civics. Quick someone lock this thread before the stupidity wears off on us all.
